India registered their seventh victory over Pakistan in World Cup cricket after they beat Pakistan by 89 runs via Duckworth Lewis method in Manchester on Sunday, 16 June. Pakistan needed 337 to win the game when the chase started.

The equation then came down to 136 runs of five overs after rain halted their chase after 35 overs when they were 166 for 6.

Fakhar Zaman (62) and Babar Azam added 104 for the second wicket. However, once their partnership was breached, Pakistan then failed to make a comeback as the Indian bowlers tightened their grip on the game.

Former Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi congratulated the Indian cricket team for registering a comfortable victory over their arch-rivals, much before the match finished!

Kuldeep Yadav was the one who broke the partnership as he dismissed Babar and then again came back to take the key wicket of Fakhar Zaman who was looking good and threatened to take the game away from India.

India, after this win over Pakistan, registered their third victory of this World Cup, while Pakistan’s campaign slumped even further with three losses. They have now lost two games back-to-back, first against Australia and new against India.

They will have a tough road ahead in the remaining four games and need to win all of them to keep themselves alive in the tournament.

After their loss against India, Pakistan next play South Africa at Lord’s next Sunday (23 June) while India play Afghanistan next Saturday (22 June).
