MANCHESTER: 7-0! The newest one got here with an emphatic remark, within a stadium rocking with delirious Indian lovers here on Sunday.
SCORECARD | WORLD CUP SCHEDULE | POINTS TABLE
Rohit Sharma's masterclass shone through the rain-interrupted clash as India outplayed Pakistan once more in a World Cup sport, storming to a 89-run win (DLS approach) to stay their advantageous run within the World Cup going. Pakistan's seek of their maiden World Cup victory over their arch-rivals continues.
After India publish a mammoth 336/five batting first, Pakistan's answer was once stymied via a lack of intent and a disciplined, unyielding efficiency within the field via the Men in Blue. After a limp start - Pakistan's rating of 38/0 after 10 overs is the lowest powerplay overall on this World Cup so far - Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam gave the impression of taking the combat to India in a stand price 104. But a droop where the team misplaced 4 wickets for 12 runs made it a no contest.
A gentle drizzle at around 6 pm stopped play for a while. When it resumed about 40 minutes later, Pakistan essential an unimaginable 136 off 30 balls via the D/L equation.
On the day, India had been the superior team, via a mile, in each department of the sport. While batting, India did not let Shikhar Dhawan's absence deter them with KL Rahul filling up more than adequately. Then, they made mild of Bhuvneshwar Kumar's surprising departure from the field after bowling most effective 2.4. Kumar seemed to have pulled his hamstring and took no further section within the sport.
It was once difficult to say who shone the brightest at the Old Trafford on Sunday - the solar which made a much-needed and welcome look or Rohit Sharma's strokeplay which enlivened this historical venue with its silken grace.
Answering fervent prayers of millions of lovers, weather progressed magically to let cricket and a outcome happen. Sharma complemented the altruism of the weather gods with an innings of glowing brilliance to provide India wings within the high-pressure sport.
India had to guard against shedding early wickets and opener Sharma and Rahul had been equal to the task. They had been helped via the fact that there was once little movement for the seamers to exploit regardless of the overcast stipulations.
Mohammad Amir, expected to lead Pakistan's attack, didn't make any dent in his first spell of 4-1-Eight-0. He bowled too short and huge to be efficient. Hasan Ali was once handled harshly via Sharma as he gave away 26 in his first three overs. Soon, the solar was once out and with that got here out Sharma's strokes.
The opener, who now has two hundreds on this World Cup, gloriously pulled Ali for his first six within the sixth over of the innings to set the tone for what followed.
He did live to tell the tale two run out probabilities. The first reprieve got here when he was once on 32 as Fakhar Zaman threw at the wrong finish with the batsman midway down the track whilst attempting a 2nd run. In the next over, Shadab Khan's poor throw allowed him to make his flooring at the striker's finish. Sharma made Pakistan pay heavily, achieving his 50 off 34 balls and his century off 85.
Rohit revived the memory of Sachin Tendulkar's slashed six off Shoaib Akhtar within the 2003 World Cup via reducing Ali over level boundary in identical fashion.
The opening partnership of 136, India's best against Pakistan within the World Cup, gave the team a solid foundation. Skipper Kohli, a bit of scrappy to start with, quickly were given his mythical prowess going and his 77 (65 balls, 4x7) made certain that there was once no let-up within the stress Indian batsmen exercised over Pakistan.
