Shreyas Iyer hit a boundary to complete his half-century as India also reach their destination and now it's 8-0 against Pakistan in the World Cup.

Rohit Sharma put up a brilliant batting display after the bowlers tuned up in the right time to make a comeback in the match. India are now top of the table with 6 points in 3 matches and 1.821 NRR.

The incredible Hitman slashes come to an end as he falls for 86 and misses out on a well-deserved ton. His inning includes six sixes and six fours. Rohit Sharma went for a big shot but Shaheen's delivery struck the edge of the bat and Iftikhar took an easy catch.

Rohit Sharma is on fire. He is not providing any kind of comfort to anyone and have punished every bowler till now. Rohit is now batting on 85 in just 61 deliveries with six sixes to his name.

Iyer has also joined the party and playing the spin with comfort.

India are showcasing a brilliant run-chase display at the Ahmedabad. Rohit Sharma hitting boundaries whenever he gets the opportunity while Iyer is taking time to build the partnership to complete the chase without losing any more wickets.

Sharma leading his team from the front. After a century against Afghanistan, Rohit Sharma follows it up with a fiery fifty against Pakistan. He completes his 53rd fifty in the ODIs off 36 balls. 3 fours and 4 sixes in Rohit's knock so far and he has kept this India 192 chase right on track.

Huge moment in the game for Pakistan as Hasan Ali gets the wicket of Virat Kohli for 16. The dangerous-looking 56-run partnership has been broken. A short ball from Hasan and Kohli was looking to pull it. He mistimed the shot Mohammad Nawaz took an easy catch at mid-on.

The Indian skipper is in sublime form. He welcomed Haris Rauf with a six in the second delivery of the ninth over. Then he smashed another one in the second last delivery to make it 301. India are now 77/1 in 9 overs.

He also becomes the first Indian to smash 300 sixes in ODI Cricket.

India are off to a flying start as they reach 50-run mark just under 7 overs. Shubman Gill was unfortunate to lose his wicket after starting in his debut match on a positive note. But Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are pushing forward with ease here at Ahmedabad.

Hasan Ali goes for a wild slog on the leg side but gets the top edge. The ball shoots straight up as Shubman Gill completes an easy catch. Hasan departs for 12.

Pakistan innings collapsed like a pack of card here in Ahmedabad.

Mohammad Nawaz hits the ball straight into the hands of Jasprit Bumrah at mid-on. Hardik Pandya comes back into the attack and strikes on the final ball of the 40th over. 

A delivery of the World Cup contender for sure. On a length outside off, angled in sharply. Shadab ended up playing inside the line of the delivery. The ball crashes onto the stumps as Pakistan are now 173/7 after 36 overs.

From 155/2 to 171/7

Mohammad Rizwan is knocked over for 49 by Jasprit Bumrah. Rohit Sharma brought Bumrah back into the attack for his second spell and the pacer delivered for India. A perfect slower off-cutter from Bumrah and Rizwan went for a drive. He misjudged the delivery completely because of the lack of pace on it and the ball hit the off stump.

What an over from Kuldeep! He turns the match by himself. Iftikhar Ahmed hit a boundary but then went for a sweep. Kuldeep pitched the googly in the leg stump which hit the gloves of the batsman and blew the wicket down.

Shadab Khan is the new batsman.

Saud Shakeel makes his way back to the pavilion for 6. India get rid of Saud with the help of a review. A length delivery from Kuldeep and Saud was looking to play it on the on-side off the backfoot. He misses the ball as but umpire Erasmus' decision goes in favour of the batter. Rohit Sharma takes the review for the third time today. Ball tracking shows the delivery pitched in line and is hitting the leg stump. Umpire Erasmus reverses his decision as India put Pakistan under pressure with a quick strike.

Iftikhar Ahmed is the new batsman for Pakistan.

What a delivery by Siraj. He may leak runs cheaply but he has now taken two huge wickets today. Babar tried to play the shot towards the third man but it was a poor shot selection. Siraj's delivery got a little bit of bounce in it and went straight to hit the stumps.

Babar Azam perishes after scoring his first ODI half-century against India! 👏

Saud Shakeel is the new batsman

A brilliant inning so far from Babar Azam. After losing his wicket in the previous two matches cheaply, Babar started his inning on a positive note today. India had two chances to send him back to the dressing room but the Pakistan skipper survived. He brings up his 29th half-century in just 57 deliveries.

Hardik Pandya had a chance to take a beautiful catch to dismiss Babar Azam. Siraj came back to bowl his second spell. In the third delivery of the 28th over, Babar played a flick right past Pandya. Pakistan are in a stable condition now as Babar and Rizwan both are looking confident to face the Indian bowlers.

Babar Azam and Rizwan push forward with ease as Pakistan cross the 100-run mark in the 19th over. Babar is batting on 30 after facing 28 deliveries while Rizwan is taking time but accompanying Babar beautifully by rotating strike.

Imam-ul-Haque (36) tries to play through covers on a wide delivery but nicks it straight to Rahul. Pakistan loses both their openers. Rizwan is the new batsman.

Mohammed Rizwan is the new batsman for Pakistan. He was the match-winner for the Pakistani side when he led the record run-chase against Sri Lanka in the previous match.

Virat Kohli mocks Md. Rizwan with an imaginary clock⌚ as Rizwan took a long to settle in before facing the first ball!

This is Virat Kohli at his best! 😍

Pakistan started brilliantly with Imam hitting three boundaries in the second over. Abdullah and Imam both were looking confident but Siraj somehow came up with the breakthrough. Rohit Sharma kept his belief in Siraj and he delivered at the right time. Abdullah Shafique departed for 20 as Babar Azam comes into the middle.

Mohammed Siraj traps Abdullah Shafique (20) LBW. The openers were having a good time but Siraj came up with the breakthrough finally. There is literally no bounce available on the pitch and Siraj's delivery skids through the pitch and hit the pads of Abdullah.

Abdullah and Imam have added 16 runs in the first two overs.

Bumrah has started with impressive figures once again. Siraj is looking expensive once again but Bumrah is in fiery form. That is quite evident.

Both the teams have lined up for their national anthems.

"We also wanted to bowl first. We have had good two wins, momentum and confidence is high. Jam-packed stadium, we will enjoy it. We want to be good in the field, we had a couple of good practice sessions. Same team for us," Pakistan captain Babar Azam at the toss

We want to keep striving for the best, we want to come out there and give our best in every game. Keeping the atmosphere in the team relaxed is the most important thing in a tournament like this. Gill is back in place of Ishan, unfortunate for Ishan to miss out, feel for him, he stepped up when we needed him. Gill has been a special player for us over the past year or so, especially at this ground and we wanted him back," Indian captain Rohit Sharma after winning the toss.

Rohit Sharma have included Gill in the lineup as he is fit to play the huge clash.

India vs Pakistan: The Men in Blues victorious by 7 wickets

India faced Pakistan in the 12th match of the ICC Cricket World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. India were coming after winning both matches they have played, while Pakistan have had a similar run as well.

Coming in to bat first, Pakistan started in a decent manner but both of the openers fell short to score big. Rizwan and Babar Azam made a brilliant partnership of 82 runs but India made a huge comeback to scalp 8 wickets under just 36 runs. Pakistan were bowled out for 191 runs after being comfortable at 155/2. Bumrah, Siraj, Hardik, Kuldeep, and Jadeja picked up two wickets each

While Chasing, India started in an amazing manner. Debutant Shubman Gill was looking flawless but he was unfortunate to find Shadab while playing a cut. Rohit Sharma played a fiery inning of 86 runs after facing only 63 deliveries including 6 sixes and 6 fours. Virat Kohli couldn't score big this time but Shreyas Iyer came up with his first World Cup half-century. Eventually, Rohit Sharma lost his wicket but he surely deserved a ton. India now have a 8-0 lead over the noisy neibors in the ICC ODI Cricket World Cup.
