World Cup goes to India 2019

Manchester
7-0.The latest one came with an emphatic statement, inside a stadium rocking with delirious Indian fans here on Sunday.
Rohit Sharma's masterclass shone through the rain - interrupted clash as India outplayed Pakistan yet again in a World Cup game, storming to a 89 run win to keep their fine run in the world cup going Pakistan's search of their maiden World Cup victory over their arch rivals continues.
After India put up a mammoth 336/5 batting first, Pakistan's reply was stymied by a lack of intent and a disciplined, unyielding performance in the field by the men in blue.
After a limp start Pakistan's score of 38/0 after 10 overs is the lowest power play total in this world cup so far.
Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam looked like taking the fight to India in a stand worth 104. But a slump where the team lost 4 wickets for 12 runs made it a no contest.
A light drizzle at around 6 pm stopped play for a while. When it resumed about 40 minutes later, Pakistan needed an impossible 136 off 30 balls by the D/L equation.
