A billion Indians, including captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni, are hoping Pakistan will take their game against Australia seriously and not look to experiment.
The Australia-Pakistan Group A match in the ICC Champions Trophy on Wednesday assumes tremendous importance for India.
If Pakistan defeats Australia by a good margin and India also does the same against the West Indies, then both the neighbours will advance to the semi-finals.
However, Dhoni is worried that Pakistan may rest a few top players and give the bench strength a look in.
"Now that they have qualified, they could be looking to experiment with their bench strength. It depends on what they want to get out of tomorrow's game," Dhoni said.
"Unfortunately, not everything is in your hand. Lot of things need to happen: Pakistan to win, we to beat West Indies and net run-rate," he added.
