| The two sides played out a dramatic tie earlier in the tournament, with India coming out on top after a bowl-out.
"There is nothing more exciting than an India-Pakistan match, so expect some fun," said skipper Mahendra Dhoni.
India will again hope for fireworks from Yuvraj Singh, while Pakistan will look to Shoaib Malik and Misbah-ul-Haq.
The middle-order pair have been one of the main reasons for Pakistan's success in the tournament so far, although team-mate Shahid Afridi heads the overall player of the tournament standings for his 91 runs and 12 wickets.
Former Pakistan captain Javed Miandad claims Twenty20 is not "real cricket" and has accused the International Cricket Council of trying to turn the game into baseball.
But that will not take any gloss off the occasion for the two sets of players, who have redeemed the reputations of their teams after both were eliminated from the World Cup earlier this year after the opening round, or their supporters.
"We are professionals, so we had to change ourselves," said Pakistan skipper Shoaib Malik.
"The World Cup is history and we are just concentrating on this final. Things have been going very nicely and we are playing much better.
