Day 2 - India vs Pakistan

India and Pakistan rivalry at its best

India 300/7 (50.0) vs Pakistan 224 (47.0)

India wins by 76 runs


Any time India and Pakistan meet in the World Cup, it is almost s good as the World Cup final. In the 2015 world cup these teams are in the same group and are facing each other on the day 2 itself.

India won the toss and decided to bat first! Kohli hit a fine century to help India finish at 300 in 50 overs. Dhawan and Raina also made significant contributions but India chocked in last 3 over overs losing 4 wickets for just 17 runs. India could make just 27 runs off the last five overs.

Pakistan have never chased more than 262 successfully in a World Cup match. India have always defended 300 in World Cup matches.

Pakistan lost the opening wicket at 11 and kept losing wickets at regular interval eventually folding out at 224 in 47 overs. Misbah-ul-Haq was the only batsman to cross the 50 mark.
