Indian cricket team recorded a thumping seven-wicket win over Pakistan in their third ICC World Cup 2023 match on Saturday, October 14. Bowlers shone again to bowl out Pakistan on just 191 runs while bowling first and then a sensational fifty from captain Rohit Sharma helped India register their eighth ODI World Cup win against their arch-rivals.
Both teams entered the game having won the opening two World Cup 2023 matches but it proved as a one-sided game at Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium. Rohit won the toss and elected to bowl first with Shubam Gill returning to their playing XI. Pakistan fielded the same eleven after their record-breaking win against Sri Lanka in the previous game.
Pakistan managed to produce a positive start with Imam-ul-Haq and Abdullah Shafique adding 41 runs for the first wicket. Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya gave India initial success with two wickets in quick succession but Pakistan made a comeback with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan adding an impressive 82-run partnership for the third wicket.
