And so, in their 13th World Cup match against India, Pakistan have finally won against their neighbours.

They have done so without losing a wicket, and with 13 balls to spare. I sign off with a teaser from my match report here.

In their 13th attempt in World Cups, Pakistan finally managed to beat India, and did so comfortably on a night when almost everything went to plan for them. With the sensational uprooting of the openers with the new ball, Shaheen Shah Afridi was the brightest star of the night, but everyone in the support cast played their role well, including a nerveless chase by the openers.

The first half of the match was as if Pakistan were playing on the white board. Afridi, you pick me early wickets. Imad Wasim, you bowl cheap Powerplay overs against their right-hand top order. Hasan Ali, we need one impactful over in the first 10 from you. Mohammad Hafeez, you can finish Imad’s overs if we get left-hand batter Rishabh Pant in. Shadab Khan, you control the middle overs. Haris Rauf, at the end of the innings, pace is pace yaar. And change of pace is change of pace yaar.
