Pakistan, on the other hand, has been one of the most consistent teams in recent years and will be looking to add pieces of silverware to its cabinet. They didn’t even reach the semi-final of the 2015 World Cup.
India, meanwhile, will be disappointed to have missed out on a place in the final but will still be proud of their achievements. They have been arguably the best team in this tournament.
