All the statistical highlights from India’s yet another convincing World Cup win against Pakistan.
India recorded their biggest victory against Pakistan in World Cup by defeating them by 89 runs (DLS method) surpassing the 76-run win in the 2015 edition.
Rohit Sharma recorded the highest score (140) in India-Pakistan World Cup matches and became the fastest batsman to reach 1,000 ODI runs (18 innings) in England.
Virat Kohli became the first Indian to win his first three World Cup matches as captain. He also became the fastest player to score 11,000 runs in ODI who took 222 innings which is 54 less the previous fastest Sachin Tendulkar – 276.
India won each of their seven matches in the World Cup against Pakistan, the joint-most wins against a team in the CWC without a defeat. Pakistan also won all their seven World Cup matches against Sri Lanka.
Rohit Sharma became the first Indian to score back to back centuries against Pakistan in the ODI format. He scored an unbeaten 111 against Pakistan during the Asia Cup 2018 in Dubai.
Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul pair have a partnership average of 72 in International cricket; the best for an Indian pair with 1000+ runs. The duo has shared 1080 runs in 17 partnerships with help of three-century stands and six fifty-run stands.
The partnership of 136 between Rohit and Rahul is the first ever 100-run opening stand in India-Pakistan CWC games.
More than anything it is a win against arch-rivals Pakistan and 7th consecutive loss for Pakistan against India in World Cups who are yet to defeat India in this mega tournament.
