England's Jos Buttler was unable to choose a clear winner between Virat Kohli's India and the Sarfraz Ahmed-led Pakistan ahead of today's game in Manchester. The Three Lions are scheduled to take on Afghanistan in their next ICC World Cup 2019 clash at the same venue in the coming week.

Jos Buttler is a renowned name in India due to his role as a key batsman for the Rajasthan Royals team since they returned to the Indian Premier League in 2018. Buttler has been in terrific form with the bat for the last two seasons and has carved somewhat of a cult following in the Indian subcontinent. 

However, the explosive English batsman remained indecisive when questioned about who he felt would be the winner in today's mouth-watering tie between India and Pakistan.

"It's a great game. It's one of the most watched games of cricket ever, isn't it? It's going to be a fantastic game for us as well. We play at Old Trafford on the same wicket (versus Afghanistan on Tuesday). So look, (we're) interested in that as well. I hope it will be a great day. It will be a fantastic occasion for the World Cup. I don't know who will win. Both are very good teams," Buttler told reporters after the crushing win against West Indies on Friday. 

The English cricketers will most likely be given an off on Sunday from their hectic schedule and will definitely sit and watch the iconic match between the two Asian rivals. The Three Lions will also keep an eye on the way the pitch behaves during that game since they take on Afghanistan in their next World Cup clash at the same venue in Manchester.
