India crushed Pakistan by seven-wicket

In a highly anticipated World Cup clash, Indian skipper Rohit Sharma led his team to a resounding victory over arch-rivals Pakistan, winning by seven wickets. Sharma's exceptional performance, scoring 86 runs from just 63 balls, spearheaded India's successful chase of Pakistan's target of 191 runs. With this triumph, India maintained their unbeaten record in the tournament, securing their third consecutive victory, while Pakistan suffered their first defeat after winning two previous matches. This victory also marked India's eighth consecutive win over Pakistan in World Cup encounters, dating back to 1992.

The Indian bowlers exhibited their prowess by working cohesively to dismiss Pakistan for a total of 191 runs after Rohit Sharma decided to field first. The fast bowling trio of Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Hardik Pandya each claimed two wickets, while spinners Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja also chipped in with two wickets apiece, culminating in Pakistan's innings ending in 42.5 overs. Pakistan's captain, Babar Azam, emerged as their highest scorer with 50 runs from 58 balls, closely followed by Mohammad Rizwan, who contributed 49 runs from 69 balls.

Despite reaching 155 for two at one point, Pakistan's batting lineup crumbled, ultimately being bowled out for 191. In response, India efficiently completed the chase in just 30.3 overs, with Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer contributing significantly to the team's successful pursuit.

This remarkable victory showcased India's cricketing dominance in World Cup encounters against their arch-rivals and solidified their position as a strong contender in the tournament.
