India vs Pakistan, a rivalry to cherish. Over the years, it has produced some brilliant, nerve wracking, and scintillating moments that have gained a permanent place in the cricketing folklore. But the clash between the two teams in this year's World Cup resulted in a lop sided affair. India, put into bat by Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed, scored a massive 336 thanks largely to Rohit Sharma's blistering 140 and Virat Kohli's 77. Pakistan in reply started slowly, and eventually ended up at 212. Vijay Shankar, Kuldeep Yadav and Hardik Pandya picked two wickets respectively. The win helped India keep an unblemished record of 7-0 against Pakistan in the World Cups.
