    2/19(7)
Right then, now that we have got this colossal clash out of the way, the cricketing world can take a deep breath and things can move forward as there's plenty more cricketing action left to come in the 2023 World Cup. Up next is a clash between England and Afghanistan in Delhi on Sunday, the 15th of October and that match will begin at 2 pm IST (8.30 am GMT). But you can join us early for the build-up to the game. Till then, take care and goodbye.
Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma says that the bowlers set the game up for them, and restricting Pakistan to 191 was a great effort. Mentions that it looked like they would score 270-280 when it was 150 odd for 2. Shares that they take in pride themselves for getting the job done with the ball. Adds that they are blessed to have six individuals who can get the job done with the ball. Feels that whoever is having a good day needs to make sure that he gets the job done. Further adds that his job as a captain is to assess the wicket and figure out the bowler to do the job. Feels that it was important that the batters got runs leading up to the World Cup. Adds that bowlers getting wickets in the lead-up also helped. Also says that they do not want to get too excited or get too low. Ends by saying that they want to stay balanced and do not want to play well on that particular day.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan says that they did start well with the openers going well and were trying to build a partnership after losing them. However, all of a sudden they lost wickets in a hurry and that wasn't a good thing. Adds that it wasn't a good performance with the bat and they should have got to at least 280. Also mentions that they are not up to the mark with the new ball and gives credit to Rohit Sharma for the way he played and they needed to pick up early wickets which didn't happen.
Jasprit Bumrah is the Player of the Match for his stellar spell. He starts by saying that it felt good and adds that he tries to analyze the surface as quickly as possible. Shares that the wicket was on the slower side and as the ball got older, it started to reverse and gripped as well. Mentions that it is all about trying to make it difficult for the batters to hit. Reckons that being aware is important in reading the wicket. Adds that he used to ask a lot of questions to his seniors which helped him develop the knowledge of reading wickets. On the wicket delivery to Mohammad Rizwan, he says that he saw that Ravindra Jadeja was getting the ball to grip and thought of using the change-up. On Shadab Khan's wicket, he says that the ball was reversing and looked to bowl the outswinger. Adds that he is really happy with the execution. Ends by saying that he has seen Wasim Akram and Waqar Younus bowl magical deliveries while growing up and to be praised by Waqar Younis feels great.
The Presentation ceremony...
Earlier in the game, Rohit Sharma won the toss and had no hesitation in bowling first. But, it was Pakistan who got off to a decent start with the bat as runs flowed from one end against Mohammed Siraj who did keep his head up and got that crucial first wicket. India picked up another quick wicket but then came the stand between Pakistan's two most experienced batters as Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan looked right on top of proceedings. Babar got to fifty and got out trying to be cheeky and that opened the floodgates. They lost 8 wickets for the next 36 runs and were bundled out for 191 with five Indian bowlers picking up a couple of wickets each. Coming to the chase, it was fast and furious from Rohit Sharma and co as they breezed through with almost 20 overs remaining and joined New Zealand on three wins from three.
Pakistan, after a very bright start to the contest, have simply been rolled over by India and such a defeat could be a mental blow to what otherwise has been a pretty solid start to the campaign for them. With hardly any runs to defend, Pakistan bowlers started off wayward with the ball as well. Shaheen Afridi looked a shadow of his past self and Hasan Ali just didn't have the pace to trouble the batters. Shaheen did use the change-ups well and got an early wicket for his side but they failed to build on it. Runs were flowing at a hemorrhaging rate and soon enough, Babar Azam knew that any chances of a comeback had gone. Hasan Ali and Shaheen Afridi got one more wicket each as neither the spinners nor the pace of Haris Rauf could make an impact on the game. In the end, they were a distant second-best in this game.
With a pretty small target of 192 runs needed to be chased down, India got off to an absolute flier with both openers racking up the boundaries. Shubman Gill announced his return with a fast start but fell soon enough. Skipper, Rohit Sharma however looked like he had been batting out there the whole day and kept on punishing the Pakistani bowlers. Virat Kohli came out with a positive intent as well and their stand of 56 quickfire runs broke the back of the run chase. Virat got out but Rohit went on to score 86 runs off 63 balls before getting out and on his way to those 86 runs, he became the first ODI batter to nocth up 300 sixes. Another positive for India was that Shreyas Iyer got a good look in and got a half-century and along with KL Rahul, finished off the game without a fuss.
After reaching seventh heaven in 2019, India take one more step toward cloud nine as they bring up an eighth successive victory over arch-rivals Pakistan in ODI World Cups and this has been a truly dominating performance from the host nation. 100,000 plus crowd inside the stadium and millions watching worldwide and India have risen up to the occasion.

Shaheen Afridi To Rohit Sharma OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Shaheen Afridi strikes for a second time but a bit too late to have any real impact on the game. Afridi takes pace off once again and bowls it on a fullish length, angling it well across the off stump. Rohit Sharma leans on and looks to get across and heave it away but the ball sticks in the pitch and Rohit is undone by the lack of pace. One hand comes off the handle and the ball goes off the toe end of the bat to Iftikhar Ahmed at short mid-wicket and he gobbles up the chance. End of another blistering knock from the Indian skipper but he would be disappointed to have missed out on a ton.

Shadab Khan To Rohit Sharma
SIX! An absolute gift and Rohit Sharma accepts it with both hands! Shadab Khan loses his radar and dishes out a loopy full toss, on middle, Rohit Sharma is too good to miss out as he swings cleanly and dispatches it into the deep mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Uses the pace and paddles it wide of short fine leg. Shaheen Afridi gives the chase and slides forward to keep the ball in play but the ball rolls off his trailing hand and trickles back into the fence.

Drinks break! Well, the Pakistan players did need a break from all that hammering. Just 15 overs gone in the chase and Rohit Sharma, mostly single-handedly has broken the back of a low target. They have lost a couple of wickets but both of those batters did get a few boundaries away and did enough damage. India will now look to cruise over the line. Pakistan have been a bit all over the place with the ball and Babar Azam hasn't been proactive but they need to keep trying and pick up a couple of quick wickets after the break to make something of the game.

Hasan Ali To Virat Kohli OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Hasan Ali comes back into the attack and sends Virat Kohli packing. Back of a length outside off, Kohli hangs back and tries to drag the pull in front of square. Generally, Kohli would have just looked to work it on the leg side but went for the flamboyant shot and paid the price. Kohli is off-balance on the pull and the ball goes off the splice of the bat toward mid on where Mohammad Nawaz takes a simple catch. Today, the execution of this shot will not look as ordinary as it was because of the situation of the game but would have been the talking point on some other day, as these shortish deliveries are troubling Kohli. Do you remember his dropped catch against Australia?

Haris Rauf To Rohit Sharma
Complete miscommunication and had that hit, it would have been yet another Sharma-Kohli mix-up. Rauf misses the yorker and serves a low full toss on leg stump at 147 clicks. Rohit Sharma firmly drives it to mid on and sets off for the single as Shaheen Afridi dives full length to stop the ball inside the ring. It's the striker's call, has to be his, but Kohli is caught looking behind and is ball-watching. Rohit has almost crossed the halfway mark of the pitch and then thinks about returning. He loses his balance slightly as he applies the brakes but then sees Kohli scooting towards the striker's end. Amidst all this, Shaheen recovers from his dive and takes aim at the wickets at the striker's end. He misses and Virat dives to make it safely. The replay though shows that Kohli would have been a goner had Shaheen Afridi hit the stumps. Rohit takes a sigh of relief and flashes a smile.

Hasan Ali To Rohit Sharma
FOUR! Pakistan keep on leaking boundaries at a haemorrhaging rate here. Fuller in length and sliding onto middle and leg, Rohit Sharma gets across a bit and clips it away well in front of square on the leg side for a boundary. Not a shot Rohit plays often but he gets four runs for it.

Shaheen Afridi To Shubman Gill OUT!
OUT! CAUGHT! Shaheen Afridi gets an early wicket for Pakistan and Shubman Gill will be devastated by that shot. Good-length ball, outside off and angling well across at 137 clicks. Gill hangs back and throws his hands at it, looking to hammer it over point but doesn't quite get the elevation. The ball goes quickly over point but Shadab Khan judges it well and gets both hands over his head to take a sharp catch. A much muted celebration from Pakistan but they have something to build on as Gill was looking really good out there.

FOUR! Second boundary in the over and this time, Shubman Gill holds the pose as well. Overpitched outside off, Gill opens up his arms and strokes it away much squarer this time and into the cover-point fence.

Hasan Ali To Shubman Gill
Gets a bit of movement right away! Bowls a gentle-paced delivery first up, fuller and outside off with the ball shaping away late. Shubman Gill lets it through to the keeper.
Hasan Ali will steam in from the other end. Like Afridi, he is starting with a solitary slip.

Leg bye! Gives the charge now but misses the ball. Shaheen Afridi looks for the yorker on leg stump but the ball spills out and it is a full toss shaping back in. Gill is a bit too forward and the ball goes off the pads toward square leg. They get a single.
