The atmosphere at Old Trafford on Sunday was electric as Pakistan and India went head to head in what began as a dramatic showdown in a key World Cup fixture.

Rain stopped play thrice, and eventually the D/L method was used to reduce play in the Pakistan innings to 40 overs.

The men in blue concluded the match with a decisive victory over Pakistan ─ their 7th consecutive win ─ against the side.
