Team India, with its outstanding performance, scored 336 runs and lost 5 wickets after 50 overs. Pakistan, on the other hand, managed to score 212 runs and had a loss of 6 wickets after 40 overs. The match was disrupted due to rain after Pakistan batted for 40 overs. Because of this, Team India won by 89 runs via the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method.

India played a total of 3 matches so far and won all of them against South Africa, Australia and Pakistan on the 5th, the 9th and the 16th of June respectively.

Rohit Sharma, a player of the Indian Cricket Team, was declared the Man of the Match as he scored 140 runs off 113 balls.
When asked about the reason behind his success, Rohit Sharma said, “It’s just the space I’m in right now; having a newly born daughter in my life has put me in a really good space. I am enjoying my cricket coming off from a great IPL campaign. Here we were focussed on starting well and I think as a team we are heading in the right direction (sic.)”
Virat Kohli, the Captain of the Indian Cricket Team, took to Twitter and congratulated his team members and all the fans who were cheering for Team India.

I used to be such a huge hater of the Indian cricket team as a teenager, but as I grew older, they earned my respect. Especially Virat Kohli. Hands down one of the best sides in the cricketing world right now and my world cup favourites.#CongratulationsIndia
