India vs Pakistan Live Score: India Victorious
And so, India have beaten Pakistan in a World Cup match once again! Every aspect was in favour of the green shirts in this match, from winning the toss to having only 120 runs to chase down. But at the end of the day, it is those players in blue who are smiling, as they nearly always do whenever the two cricketing giants meet. This match lived up to the tag of 'cricket's most iconic rivalry', on what has otherwise been a pretty lukewarm tournament so far.
India's next match is against USA on 12 June, and we will bring you live updates from that match. But before that, our reporter in USA is speaking with the fans to know how they are feeling. Keep an eye on our pages.
