Pakistan captain Salman Agha said his team were ready to face India in the next round of the Asia Cup on Sunday after last week's group-stage match between the arch-rivals ended in acrimony when the Indian side refused to shake hands.
Pakistan beat United Arab Emirates in their final Group A game on Wednesday to advance to the Super Fours stage, where they will also play two teams from Group B in a round robin format.
Bilateral cricket between India and Pakistan has been suspended since 2013 and they play each other only in multi-team tournaments.
"We are ready, we are ready for any challenge," Salman said after their 41-run victory against UAE.
"We just want to play good cricket. If we play good cricket, like we have played in the last few months, I think we'll be good against any side."
Fakhar Zaman made 50 but Pakistan's frontline batters disappointed against UAE's modest attack with opener Saim Ayub falling for his third successive duck in the tournament.
Salman acknowledged they had to bat better.
"We got the job done but we still need to improve our batting in the middle order," Salman said.
"That's been a concern and something we need to work on."
India had cruised to a seven-wicket victory over Pakistan last weekend in the first cricket match between the sides since a four-day military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours in May.
While the match itself passed without incident, there was no shaking of hands between the captains at the toss or among the players at the end. India skipper Suryakumar Yadav dedicated their victory to the armed forces back home.
The Pakistan Cricket Board called for match referee Andy Pycroft's immediate removal for a code of conduct "violation" and considered withdrawing from the tournament before going ahead with Wednesday's match.
India and Pakistan could meet for a third time at the tournament if they both reach the September 28 final.
