All eight teams have nestled in their respective camps spread out in three Pakistan cities — Karachi, Lahore and Rawalpindi, while India are in Dubai as part of a hybrid arrangement after the team’s refusal to travel to Pakistan for the tournament.
India, Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand are in Group A, while Group B includes Australia, England, Afghanistan and South Africa.
Standing within hours of the first ball delivered on Wednesday at 2:30 pm IST, it’s a good time to look at the jerseys of the teams in the fray.
