Speaking exclusively on ESPN Cricinfo, Anil Kumble spoke on preparations for the India vs Pakistan game ahead, he said, "I think the preparations will be the same, it is just that on that particular day when you walk in the field you will certainly have that feeling of yes, we have to win this. The result matters and it is India vs Pakistan, and India has always triumphed over Pakistan in World Cup matches. So that feeling is there, the nervousness is there for any game, but more so for an India-Pakistan game, and once the first ball is bowled everything is back to normal."
