India vs Pakistan LIVE: ICC Cricket World Cup score and result after Rohit Sharma leads hosts to victory

The India captain hit 86 off 63 balls as they crushed rivals Pakistan

No Pakistan fans is ‘big advantage’ for India in World Cup

Hosts India bundled out Pakistan for 191 in 42.5 overs before quickly chasing down their target to win a World Cup blockbuster between the Asian arch-rivals at a heaving Narendra Modi Stadium on Saturday.

Put in to bat, Pakistan were on 155-2 in the 30th over and appeared to be cruising towards a 300-plus total with skipper Babar Azam (50) and in-form batter Mohammad Rizwan (49) at the crease. But India’s Mohammed Siraj then dismissed Babar, triggering a spectacular collapse, with Pakistan unable to hold out for the rest of their quota of 50 overs. Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the Indian bowlers, claiming 2-19 in a clinical display of his distinctive style of seam bowling.

Rohit Sharma then fired 86 from 63 balls en route to a quick win, as India extended their record to three from three. Get the latest Cricket World Cup odds here.

[14 October 2023 09:50 · Jack Rathborn]

Pakistan 23/0 (4.0), Imam-ul-Haq 13, Abdullah 10, Siraj 0-18 (2.0)

Good running from Pakistan, but they have to scamper between the wickets as Jadeja is quick to laser in on the stumps.

That’s a mean arm and Pakistan batters are in danger if they hesitate even slightly.

But this is a fine foundation and India might turn to spin soon, but back to Bumrah to sprint in and try to unsettle this blossoming opening partnership.
