India vs Pakistan Highlights, World Cup 2023: Shreyas Iyer hit the winning runs and in the process got to his half century as well.
India vs Pakistan Highlights, World Cup 2023: Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav triggered a stunning Pakistan collapse and shared four wickets in India’s dominant victory over their archrivals at the 2023 World Cup on Saturday. The seven-wicket win in front of a crowd of more than 100,000 fans at Narendra Modi Stadium was India’s eighth consecutive victory over Pakistan in World Cups in a streak that began in 1992. Bumrah took 2/19 in seven overs and Kuldeep picked 2/35 in 10 overs as Pakistan crashed from 155/2 (29.3 overs) to 191 all out in 42.5 overs. Apart from Kuldeep and Bumrah, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Siraj and Ravindra Jadeja all got two wickets each.
Then, Indian captain Rohit Sharma blazed a 36-ball half-century and Shreyas Iyer provided the finishing touches with an unbeaten fifty of his own as India raced to the victory line. Rohit scored 86 runs off 63 balls, including six fours and six sixes, as India finished with 192/3 (30.3 overs). Shreyas got to his half century with a boundary, which was also the winning runs, finishing unbeaten on 53 off 62 balls. India lead the table now with six points — ahead of New Zealand on net run-rate — after three straight wins. Pakistan, after their first loss of the tournament, have four points from three games and are fourth in the points table.
