Police officials urged fans to maintain discipline and enjoy the contest in a positive spirit, stressing that violations will result in immediate legal consequences to safeguard spectators and preserve the atmosphere inside the stadium.
The hype surrounding the fixture is at its peak, with both sides entering the contest in strong form. India bowled out hosts UAE for just 57 runs before racing to the target in 4.3 overs, while Pakistan posted 160-7 and dismissed Oman for 67 in 16.4 overs.
In head-to-head T20I history, India hold the edge with 10 wins in 13 encounters.
Their last meeting in the format was during the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 in New York, where Rohit Sharma’s men prevailed in a tense, low-scoring contest against Babar Azam’s side.
