ICC World Cup 2019
Match 22 - India Vs Pakistan
Its 7-0 Now, Pure Dominance
If anyone asked which is the most expected match in world cup?? All of us will reply its between India and Pakistan. Both the neighbour countries were consider as rivals in world cricket. They faced few wars between them in the past century. The clash between them in the ground also gave a feeling like war and create much heat between their fans. Pakistan team have worst record in world cup against India. They never won a single game against their Rivals in world cup from 1992 to till 2015 WC. Its a 6-0 head to head dominated by Indians. Even the Pakistan best side cant able to beat them. In that situation amateur Pakistan team faced the world's powerful lineup in current cricket at Manchester on Father's day to change their worst record. But once again India replied that they were always the father of Pakistan beating them by 89 runs and presented it as Fathers Day gift.
Pakistan first decision itself created a point for their defeat. Pak skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed chose bowl after winning toss. Last match against Australia also Pakistan did the same and ends up with a defeat. They should remember they are not having that much powerful batting line up for chase. Within few overs Sarfaraz realised his mistake, Indian players started slowly and ends with 336 runs with loss of 5 wickets at the end of 50 overs. Double century beast Rohit scored one more brilliant century in this season and gone for 140 runs from 113 balls with 14 boundaries and 3 sixes. Another opener Rahul came as replace for Dhawan scored a decent fifty 57 runs after consuming too many balls (78 balls). If Rahul saved some 10 balls India may cross 350 runs in this match. Indian skipper King Kohli showed his master class once again and left the crease for 77 runs from 65 balls by a controversial decision out. He was taken by Sarfaraz from Amir bouncer. Kohli didnt wait for umpires decision and walked to pavilion. Later in ultra edge it showed the ball not even had any minute contact with bat. Amir took 3 wickets in this match too and became only hope for Pakistan bowling.
India started the bowling spell with yorker specialist Bumrah and swing master Bhuvi. Pakistan batsmen struggled a lot in facing these bowlers. But a twist happened at 5th over. Bhuvi left ground due to injury after bowled 4 balls in that over. Pakistan took some deep breathe in that time. But debut ant Vijay Shankar took Imam Ul Haq in his very first ball of world cup. Vijay became the first Indian in taking first ball wicket in world cups. Fakhar Zaman and Babar Azam played beautifully. Slowly Pakistan building the innings and clouds also threatening India. Out Form Kuldeep Yadav strikes in this important match by taking Babar Azam (48 runs). Babar lost his stumps, such a beautiful ball from Kuldeep. Later Kuldeep took Fakhar Zaman (62 runs) after his half century. Hardik Pandya blew the middle order Hafeez and Malik in his consecutive balls. Skipper Sarfaraz Ahmed bowled by Vijay Shankar. India almost reaching the victory, but rain came and forced umpires to calculate the DL score. As Pakistan lost many wickets, the target became too high for them like 302 runs from 40 overs. But pakistan batsmen able to score only 212 runs at the end of 40 overs and lost the match by 89 runs.
Man of the Match: Rohit Sharma
Now it became 7-0 for India, a pure dominance again Pakistan in 50 over world cup. Pakistan have to wait for another 4 years to meet India at league stage in world cups. They have one more chance wither to face India at semi or finals. But both have to qualify for semi finals and have to face each other. But for Pakistan now the situation is critical, still they have to face New Zealand, South Africa and the most dangerous Bangladesh. In 1992 world cup also Pak were in this kind of situation later fought back and qualify semi. Finally became Champ, but this time its too difficult with this kind of team and this kind of captaincy.
