India favourites against Pakistan amidst rain threat

India start favorites in the World Cup match against Pakistan due to their strong players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah. The match holds a significant socio-political backdrop, but the outcome will depend on Shaheen Shah Afridi’s performance for Pakistan. Emotional factors have played a role in previous matches between the two teams. The presence of rain is a concern, but both teams are hoping for a full match.
