Pakistan cricket team trained for their T20 World Cup match against archrival India. On Sunday, India and Pakistan will face off at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground in their first official game of the tournament.

The Men in Green were seen sweating it out in the nets ahead of the game, with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan entirely focused on the game at the MCG.

Meanwhile, Pakistan survived a major injury scare on Friday when opener Shan Masood was hit on the head by all-rounder Mohammad Nawaz.

Masood was later rushed to the hospital for scans due to any sort of crucial injury.

However, it was later revealed that the batter only received "superficial bruising."

"All of Shan Masood's neurological observations are normal. His CT scan only shows superficial bruising where the ball struck him," the Pakistan Cricket Board said in a statement.

"He will be re-tested (Saturday)" for concussion, the PCB added.

The 33-year-old has two half-centuries for Pakistan in 12 T20s since making his debut in September against England, who toured Pakistan after 17 years.
