Pakistanis were waiting for a long time to watch their team beat arch-rivals India in a World Cup contest. It happened today at Dubai International Stadium when Babar and Rizwan helped the green shirts chase down 152 runs with 13 balls to spare and 10 wickets in hand.
It was India’s first 10-wickets defeat in T20Is and Pakistan’s first-ever victory with this margin in the shorter format.
