"I think as a team we will take it as a normal game, it's best we don't take any unnecessary pressure. It will be a normal game, we have to make sure we play the best cricket," Pandya told BCCI's Twitter handle here.

While India have an all-win record against the arch-rivals in World Cups, Pakistan hold an edge over the men-in-blue in the Champions Trophy.

India have only managed to win once in their three meetings against Pakistan in the Champions Trophy.
