India vs Pakistan: Here are the teams' top run-getters in T20Is

Arch-rivals India and Pakistan are set to clash in the all-important T20 World Cup match on Sunday. Hailed as one of the most important fixtures for the sides, India would look to keep their unbeaten streak alive, while the Pakistan side is eager to end the drought.

India has emerged victorious in all of the 12 games it has played against Pakistan at T20 and 50-over World Cups. Skipper Virat Kohli, however, has downplayed this, saying they are taking on a "very strong" Pakistan team.
