T20 World Cup: Pakistan break World Cup jinx, beat India

In T20 World cup, Pakistan on Sunday rewrote history to register their maiden World Cup-win over India in over 29 years as they registered a 10-wicket win over the arch rival India. Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan, at the start of the chase got Pakistan off to a brisk start in Dubai. Rizwan also brought up his fifty and remained unbeaten on 79, alongside Babar's 68 not-out, as Pakistan romped home with 2.1 overs to spare. Pakistan openers Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam made light work of the 152-run chase, getting to the target in the 18th over to break the World Cup jinx and register their first-ever 10-wicket win in a T20I match.

India have set Pakistan a target of 152 in 20 overs. After being put in to bat, Team India got off to the worst start possible. Rohit Sharma was trapped LBW on 0 by Shaheen Afridi in the first over. He was gone for a golden duck. In his next over, Afridi then removed KL Rahul on 3 by disturbing his timber. India scored 24 to keep the run-rate up. Thanks to Rishabh Pant upping the ante and Kohli playing second fiddle, India began their comeback. He hit two one-handed sixes before being caught and bowled by Shadab Khan. India got to 100/4 after 15 overs. Eventually, after Kohli got to his 29th T20I fifty, India posted 151/6 in their 20 overs. Kohli was dismissed for 57.
