Skipper Rohit Sharma helped India comfortably pass the 50-run mark in their pursuit of 192 to defeat Pakistan in the ongoing ICC World Cup 2023 at the iconic Motera on Saturday.

Earlier, India bundled out Pakistan for just 191 in 42.5 overs after the hosts elected to field first at the world's biggest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. Pakistan's top-order failed to step up as they lost their last eight wickets for only 36 runs. Sharma's decision to bowl first after winning the toss might have raised a few eye-brows but the Indian team always had things under control despite a 72-run third wicket stand between skipper Babar Azam (50 off 58 balls) and Mohammed Rizwan (49 off 69 balls).
