ODI World Cup 2023

‘World cup abhi baaki hai mere dost’ – Fans react as India trash Pakistan by 7 wickets in ODI World Cup 2023

India won the big match against Pakistan in the ODI World Cup 2023 in a thumping way. The home side had the better of Pakistan in a one-sided encounter for most parts of the match. Probably a lesser number of people expected the match between the two teams to be one-sided. But in the end, it turned out to be one. India dominated Pakistan in Ahmedabad.

The Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first. Mohammad Siraj was a bit timid at the start with his lines. But on the other end, Bumrah was at his best as usual. The right-arm pacer set the tone for the match with his economical bowling. Siraj dismissed Abdullah Shafique. Hardik dismissed Imam-Ul-Haq and gave a crucial breakthrough to the Indian team.

Following the dismissal, there was a brief partnership between Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam, two of the best batters in Pakistan. In the first 29.2 overs, Pakistan was 155/2. What followed was an unbelievable collapse from the Pakistani lower middle order. Everyone just came in and was dismissed quickly. There was no clue whatsoever regarding the progression of the innings.

Rohit Sharma shines with the bat for India

From 155/2, Pakistan collapsed to 191 runs. The last 8 wickets of Pakistan fell for just 36 runs. Only Babar Azam scored a fifty. Rizwan scored 49 runs. But other batters struggled in the middle. For India, five bowlers claimed 2 wickets each. Bumrah, Siraj, Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, and Pandya claimed 2 wickets each for India. The target was not a threatening one, and India looked dominant from the word go.

Shubman Gill and Virat Kohli played their part and played cameos. But it was Rohit Sharma who took the game away from Pakistan completely. The Indian opener scored 86 runs in 63 balls, which included 6 fours and 6 sixes. In the dominant play, India all but sealed the game. Shreyas Iyer got some confidence by getting a fifty in the middle. In the end, India won the match by 7 wickets with 117 balls to spare.

Here’s how the fans reacted to India’s win –
