In response, Rohit Sharma’s blazing knock of 86 off 63 balls propelled India to a comfortable seven-wicket victory with 117 balls to spare. The match took place at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, which was packed with 132,000 spectators. This victory extended India’s perfect record against Pakistan in World Cup matches to 8-0. Pakistan’s collapse began after their captain, Babar Azam, was dismissed for 50. India’s Kuldeep Yadav and Jasprit Bumrah played significant roles, picking up two wickets each. Pakistan’s innings lasted only 42.5 overs. In India’s innings, Sharma’s remarkable form continued as he reached his 300th six in the format and guided his team towards victory.
