AHMEDABAD, India : Umpire Marais Erasmus was not the only one marvelling at Rohit Sharma's six-hitting prowess during India's comprehensive victory in Saturday's World Cup blockbuster against Pakistan.
Former captain Ramiz Raja has slammed Pakistan for producing an insipid performance against India in the ODI World Cup and termed the defeat as “hurting” and “scarring”. India had bundled out Pakistan for a paltry 191 and then riding on Rohit's brutal fifty registered a seven-wicket win with nearly 20 overs to spare in Ahmedabad on Saturday. “It's going to hurt them. It's scarring, it's a pasting, it's a battering and they've been outpaced and outplayed in all the three departments,” Raja told the ICC Review Podcast.
Pakistan produced quite an underwhelming performance against India in the Cricket World Cup 2023 match on Saturday saw Babar Azam's men suffering a 7-wicket defeat. India produced a performance that truly reflected their mindset and credentials to go all the way in the tournament. As Pakistan fans were reflecting on their team's embarrassing defeat, a gesture involving their skipper Babar and India's Virat Kohli went viral on social media. Seeing Kohli hand a couple of Team India shirts to Babar, however, Pakistan legend Wasim Akram wasn't pleased.
India spinner Kuldeep Yadav believes that he was able to create confusion in the minds of Pakistani batters as they went for high risk sweep shots despite failing to read his hand in the marquee World Cup clash here. Kuldeep took the important wickets of Saud Shakeel and Iftikhar Ahmed, both of whom went for the non existent sweep shot off the left arm wrist spinner, hastening the Pakistan collapse. Asked if he planned to bowl Iftikhar around his legs, Kuldeep gave an interesting reply.
Argentina's women's cricket team broke several records on Saturday with a magnificent win over Chile in the first T20I match. Argentina posted a historic total of 427/1 in just 20 overs, with both the openers Lucia Taylor (169) and Albertina Galan (145) registering a partnership of 350 runs. Later, Argentina bundled out Chile for just 63 and clinched a victory by 364 runs. This match will be remembered for years to come as it was the highest total by any team in the history of T20I cricket.
India will launch a bid to host the 2036 Olympic and Paralympic Games, Prime Minister Narendra Modi has confirmed.
It was forgettable outing for Pakistan vs India in the ODI Cricket World Cup match in Ahmedabad on Saturday. India dominated with the bat and ball in the marquee encounter. India had also scored a comprehensive win against Pakistan in the Asia Cup last month. Babar Azam (50), and Mohammad Riawan (49), stepped up for Pakistan but the team lost eight wickets for 36 runs and collapsed from 155/2 to 191 all out.
The India vs Pakistan ODI Cricket World Cup 2023 was hyped up to be one of the biggest contests in the mega event. But ultimately, it was too one-sided a contest with the Indian cricket team coming out victorious by seven wickets against the Babar Azam-led side. Five Indian bowlers including Jasprit Bumrah, Kuldeep Yadav picked two wickets apiece as India restricted Pakistan to 191. Then, Indian batters led by Rohit Sharma ensured that the team did not face any hiccups while chasing.
