It will be a normal game, we have to make sure we play the best cricket,” Pandya said. India have an all-win record against the arch-rivals in World Cups, but Pakistan hold an edge in the Champions Trophy. India have only managed to win once in their three meetings against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy.
