India beat Pakistan by 7 wickets in the ICC World Cup 2023 in Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi stadium. Babar Azam (50) and Muhammad Rizwan (49) in the middle, a total of about 300 looked within Pakistan’s reach, only for them to collapse, failing to last their full 50 overs.  India had won the toss and put Pakistan to bat first. Indian captain Rohit Sharma made a brilliant 86 to help India chase down the total in 30.3 overs. 

Pakistan started strongly but lost their openers before skipper Azam and Rizwan attempted to rebuild and hit back in their stand of 82.  Pakistan’s Shaheen Afridi took two wickets while Hasan Ali dismissed Virat Kohli.

Pakistan have never won against India in the ODI World Cup in their seven outings since 1992.
