Team India on October 14 further unfolded their
impeccable record against arch-rivals Pakistan in the ICC ODI World Cup.
Backed by lack of a solid bowling performance and a sensational batting display from captain Rohit Sharma, the Men in Blue packed-off the Men in Green by seven wickets with 19.3 overs to spare.
With this thumping win, India now moves to the top of the points table following their third consecutive win in ongoing quadrennial competition.
The celestial sphere at the Narendra Modi Stadium, both inside and on the streets outside, was a sight to remember
Over one lakh people inside the stadium rooted for Team India and the players delivered in grand style.
Even after the end of the day’s people waited outside the stadium to catch a close peek of the players as they were making their way to the team bus.
BCCI shared a video on October 15 Sunday morning that displayed the raw emotions on and the celebrations inside the Indian dressing room.
Meanwhile, Pakistan posted a lowly total of 191 on the board regardless of Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan’s impressive knock. While Babar scored 50 off 58 balls, Rizwan chipped in with a 49-run knock as the duo together put up a 72-run partnership.
It was the crucial wicket of Babar Azam, by Siraj that moved the momentum in India’s favor. A slow off-cutter by Bumrah sneaked through Rizwan’s bat and pad, marking the conclusion of Pakistan’s resistance.
In reply, Rohit Sharma made a blistering knock of 86 off 63 balls and ensured India’s win without breaking a sweat.
With this win India emerges as the ODI World Cup 2023’s table toppers with three consecutive victories and also extended their 31-year-long dominance against the arch-rivals in the the ODI World Cup.
Notably, India have emerged victorious in all the eight ODI World Cup encounters against Pakistan.
