It was a very entertaining game tonight, but ultimately it was India’s. India beat Pakistan by 89 runs (DLS method) in the rain-curtailed match at Manchester on Sunday. India maintained their unbeatable record against Pakistan in World Cup as the Men in Blue
Rohit Sharma's 140 off 113 balls sets up India total of 336-5 after Pakistan won toss. Kohli becomes fastest man to 11,000 ODI runs - 54 innings quicker than Tendulkar - in making 77. In reply, Pakistan were six down for 166 in 35 overs when rain stopped the play. When the game resumed the target was revised to 302 in 40 overs, leaving Pakistan requiring a near impossible130 off five overs. Pakistan were restricted to 212/6 as India clinched another victory over their arch-rivals in World Cup. Vijay Shankar, Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav took two wickets each as Pakistan's middle order crumbled under pressure.
India are still unbeaten in this competition, and their next opponents Afghanistan shouldn't be that much of a bother either. This World Cup is going rather well.
