India vs Pakitan match Highlights

India started off on a rocky note when they lost the big wicket of Rohit and Rahul but India still had depth in their batting. Suryakumar Yadav however, had managed to get two boundaries, something that left the Indian fans glued to their television sets. Pakistan defeated India for the first time in World Cup history and by 10 wickets and 13 balls to spare. It was a sensational win for Babar Azam and Co. Team India will now shift their focus to the next clash against another tough opponent, New Zealand. Speaking at the post-match, Virat Kohli said that India failed to execute their plans properly, and failed to get off to a good start, and also weren't able to pick up early wickets.
