Rohit Sharma pulverised a pedestrian Pakistan attack with a stylish hundred to lead India cricket team to a challenging 336.
In Match 22 of ICC cricket world cup 2019 (CWC), India cricket team defeated Pakistan cricket team by 89 runs by Duckworth Lewis method at the Old Trafford in Manchester on Sunday. Now, India extend their World Cup winning streak against Pakistan to 7-0. Earlier, Rohit Sharma pulverised a pedestrian Pakistan attack with a stylish hundred to lead India cricket team to a challenging 336 for five against Pakistan cricket team in a marquee World Cup encounter at the Old Trafford in Manchester. Despite heavy rains and overcast conditions during past few days, the pitch had very little moisture and turned out to be a batting beauty which Rohit and the other Indian batsmen exploited to the fullest. The Indian vice-captain scored his 24th ODI hundred - 140 off 113 balls while KL Rahul (57) played the perfect second fiddle in an opening partnership of 137 runs. Skipper Virat Kohli switched gears effortlessly during his 77 off 65 balls and also became the quickest to 11,000 ODI runs, eclipsing a 17-year record held by iconic Sachin Tendulkar. Mohammed Amir (3/47) pitched the ball up and maintained discipline despite a couple of official 'warnings' for running onto the pitch while Wahab Riaz (1/71) and Hasan Ali (1/84) bowled short consistently.
