IND vs PAK: 'Jai-Viru' pair will do wonders for Manchester in Ahmedabad, Babar's bowlers will be in trouble again

The Pakistan team, which has reached the seventh heaven after defeating India once or twice in the T-20 format, seems to have forgotten that defeat in Manchester. To date, the neighboring country has not been able to register a win against India in the 50-over World Cup. Pakistan only cherishes dreams of defeating Team India in ODI format. We all saw the latest example of this in the Asia Cup recently.

Now the World Cup is being played, so it is time to talk about it. India and Pakistan last faced each other in the ODI World Cup in the year 2019 and the Indian team had made the neighboring country miserable on the ground of Manchester. Team India's Jai and Veeru i.e. Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma had created such havoc with the bat that Pakistan's strong bowling attack had become a joke. Now Jai-Veeru duo will have to do the same thing in Ahmedabad.

In the year 2019, the World Cup match was played between India and Pakistan (IND vs PAK) on the soil of England. The Indian team came out to bat first. Rohit Sharma was in a different rhythm that day on the Manchester ground. Only fours and sixes were hitting the hitman's bat. Rohit had made a partnership of 136 runs with KL Rahul for the first wicket. At the same time, after getting the support of Kohli, Rohit became even more dangerous. The Hitman played an explosive inning of 140 runs facing just 113 balls. During this period, 14 fours and three sixes were hit from his bat.

Not only Rohit, but Virat Kohli's bat also spoke loudly. King Kohli walked shoulder to shoulder with his partner. Kohli played a quick inning of 77 runs in 65 balls. Seven fours came off Virat's bat. Rohit and Virat had a stormy partnership for the second wicket. Batting first, the Indian team scored 336 runs on the scoreboard after losing 5 wickets in 50 overs.

In response to the target of 337 runs set by India, the Pakistan team scored 212 runs in 40 overs after losing 6 wickets. However, just then rain arrived and the Indian team was declared the winner of the match by 89 runs under the Duckworth-Lewis rule.
