Pakistan (152/0) defeat India (151/7) by ten wickets to end India's winning streak in World Cups

Congrats Pak fans, great day for you guys.

As an Indian fan must tell you this hurts more than the CT final. Much more, streak over, one special stat in our rivalry extinguished permanently. Crushing victory for the men in green.

Enjoy the occasion, hope we meet again in the final. Great great win for Pak cricket, Shaheen is a superstar, decided the match in PP. Your openers are mighty fine as well, Rizwan surprised me this game.
 
Congrats to the PCT fans on breaking the streak and how... well done enjoy your night

For us..who knows a reversal of CT 17 on the cards??
 
Incredible, what a performance by Pakistan! a slaughter! What a feeling it must be for the fans, congrats everyone
 
Congratulations Pakistan, they were on the money from ball one and never gave India an inch while bowling. The streak had to go one day anyway and Pakistan looked determined to get that monkey off their back. And they did so in some style!
 
Congratulations guys. You outplayed us in all departments. Great win, great batting, great bowling.
 
Congratulations to all Pakistani posters and fans. What a win! What a way to end the streak! Played like Champions today. All the best for the rest of the tournament.
 
Congratulations to Pak fans.

I would be lying if I said this didn't hurt but a clinical performance if ever there was one. Absolute demolition job!! Streak was going to end someday in T20 wcs and I guess today was it.

Now pray that we don't reach the finals or you guys get knocked out before that, coz things will get ugly.. Okay just kidding! :yk
 
Congratulations Pak fans. You mauled us today.

If ever there was a perfect game played in T20s, today was that day.
 
[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] enjoy your time off in hiding. india just got humilated.
 
What a performance

Clinical run chase. can't really better this.... super super partnership. Babar-Rizwan is the best opening pair in recent times

Babar makes batting look so simple and easy. very classy player. Rizwan was brilliant too; very consistent of late

Totally outplayed India with bat and ball today

Most importantly the world cup jinx has been broken today with a convincing 10-wicket win
 
only thing that will make this victory greater is if india miss out on getting out of this group.

NZ need the same treatment on tuesday.
 
Knockout blow probably for us..

As I said earlier this group is pretty much a tri series and we have been blown away today. Tough to bounce back against a team we cant buy a win in ICC events since like ever
 
Is that important?

Does Modi speak english? lol
 
Okay... well, there is no one on this planet that saw that coming. What a performance, seriously probably one of the most perfect T20 games every played. But need to concentrate now and build. Have a shot at going all the way.
 
The only last time I can remember such a dominant performance against the great rivals was that Ijaz Ahmed masterclass back in the nineties!
 
CONGRATULATIONS TO PAKISTAN:108::106: I can safely say the vast majority of muslims in the West Indies support Pakistan Cricket as well

THE STREAK IS BROKEN.
SUCH A MAGICAL PERFORMANCE.

Literally over the moon. Upwards and onwards from here inshaAllah!!
 
Rizwan was discarded by Karachi Kings 3-4 years ago. Because he was apparently not good enough.

Now him and Babar became the one who won for Pakistan.
 
Couldn’t finish the match, Just dropped it to say,
Well played guns.
Well deserved comprehensive victory,
Its always a bitter sweet thing with me & Pakistan.

Cheers, i might take a while to get sober.
 
Now need that one victory over India in the 50 ov WC which is will be harder to achieve.

Shaheen Afridi, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan propelled Pakistan to a famous 10-wicket victory as they toppled old rivals India for the first time ever at an ICC World Cup event in Dubai.

The blockbuster Group 2 clash marked the two sides’ first T20 meeting since the 2016 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and set a competitive target of 152 to win, Babar’s side cruised to a history-making triumph under the lights.

Afridi starred with the ball as his spell of three for 31 – bolstered by Hasan Ali’s two for 44 – decimated the Indian top order and helped restrict Virat Kohli’s team to 151 for seven.

And despite Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami and Ravindra Jadeja all spearheading a star-studded Indian attack, Babar (68 not out) and wicketkeeper Rizwan (79 not out) delivered a run-chasing masterclass to inflict a first ever T20 ten-wicket defeat on India.

Babar inserted the Indians after winning the toss and with the atmosphere at fever pitch by the time Afridi steamed in for the first delivery, the skilful left-arm seamer got Pakistan off to a flyer.

He trapped the dangerous Rohit Sharma lbw with just the fourth ball of the match as his menacing, full and straight thunderbolt pinned the Indian opener on the crease.

That brought Kohli – and his stunning T20I average of 52.65 – to the middle but the Indian captain’s arrival did little to halt the rampant Afridi juggernaut.

The 21-year-old carried on where he left off in his second over as his sumptuous in-swinger proved too good for KL Rahul and bowled him through the gate.

The Indian top order rallied, however, with Suryakumar Yadav and Kohli pummelling two sixes in quick succession to extend a gripping opening period.

But Yadav soon followed Sharma and Rahul back to the pavilion as a fine diving catch by Rizwan – off the bowling of Hasan – had the Indians reeling at 31 for three.

Rishabh Pant led the Indian recovery as his enterprising innings of 39 – including two extraordinary one-handed sixes – helped steer Ravi Shastri’s side towards a defendable-looking total.

But with the left-hander motoring in the 13th over – and Kohli on a run-a-ball 29 at the other end – he succumbed to the leg spin of Shadab Khan as the Pakistan all-rounder held on to a steepler off his own bowling.

Kohli continued to keep things ticking with an intelligent middle-over innings as a steady stream of boundaries, coupled with some masterful manoeuvring, maintained India’s momentum and brought up his perfectly-judged 50.

But Pakistan then regained the initiative as Jadeja (13) was caught in the deep off Hasan and Kohli, who made 57 off 49 balls, was finally dismissed by the returning left-arm pace of Afridi.

And Hardik Pandya – hailed by Kohli for his finishing abilities before the match – soon followed his skipper in departing as he was caught by Babar off the bowling of Haris Rauf to leave India on 151 for seven at the interval.

Rizwan wasted no time kickstarting the Pakistan reply as he swatted Bhuvneshwar Kumar for a four and six in the very first over.
And with captain Babar’s cover drive functioning in typically-fluent – and aesthetically-pleasing – fashion at the other end, the 2009 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup champions had soon laid the foundations for a crack at India’s total in the blink of an eye.

With Pakistan on 43 for nought at the end of the powerplay, Kohli introduced the left-arm spin of Jadeja to initiate what felt like a crucial spell in the dynamic of the contest.

But Rizwan and Babar continued to masterfully navigate their way through the chase, with the skipper clubbing Jadeja for a monstrous six off the back foot before Rizwan survived a run-out opportunity at the non-striker’s end.

India continued to search for a breakthrough but Babar and Rizwan repelled all Kohli threw at them to leave 17 more runs required from the final three overs.

And they finished the job in style, with Rizwan launching Shami for two fours and a six to fire his side to victory and cap a historic day for Pakistani cricket at the Dubai International Stadium.

Kohli is the worst LOI captain India had since Tendulkar, should have resigned a year ago.

Congrats Pakistan and the fans! Overall WC streak is over, but the 50-over streak still remains to be broken. Gotta gun for that now!
 
Pakistan, wow, what a performance. Indian team hyped to the moon. Full of IPL stars and backed by their cheerleaders. Beaten by the most perfect performance. Not a single chance given to get into the game.

Where is [MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] ? What did his beloved Rohit do today? IPL is the best cricket in the world he says.. lol. The stars just got a schooling. Was men vs boys. Can't complain with this performance at all. The 2017 CT final and now this. Two of the most complete performances ever. Even Dhoni at the end there taking tips from Babar and Rizwan on batting...
