India and Pakistan face off on Sunday in arguably the biggest game of the Cricket World Cup thus far.
There is set to be a fevered atmosphere inside the 26,000-capacity ground on Sunday for a contest that could attract a worldwide television audience of more than one billion.
The two points on offer for a win is a mere subplot ahead of a fixture between two countries with a complex, and occasionally bloody, history with political tensions never far from bubbling to the surface.
The Board of Cricket for Control in India urged the International Cricket Council to "sever ties with countries from which terrorism emanates", after a militant group based in Pakistan claimed responsibility for a suicide bombing in Kashmir which led to the deaths of 40 Indian paramilitary police four months ago.
While India have made an unbeaten start to the tournament, Pakistan have already lost to the West Indies and Australia, either side of a surprise win over tournament hosts and favourites England.
