Babar Azam-led Pakistan created history on Sunday (October 24) as they defeated India by 10 wickets in Dubai to register their first-ever World Cup win against India.
For Pakistan, Mohammed Rizwan (79 not out) and Babar Azam (68 not out) batted superbly to help the Men In Green reach the target of 152 runs in 17.5 overs without losing any wicket.
"This was the team's effort, and the early wickets were very helpful. Shaheen's wicket gave us a lot of confidence and our spinners were very good as well. We applied our plans and got the results. We, the openers, kept it simple and built a partnership and because the wicket was getting better so we just wanted to keep batting till the end, which we did," Pakistan skipper Babar said after the match.
Pakistan bowlers also performed well, particularly Shaheen Shah Afridi, who claimed 3 wickets for 31 runs, including the wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul and Virat Kohli.
"This is just the start, we have confidence to build on now. It will remain match by match for us. The pressure on us wasn't that much - we weren't thinking of the record against India at all. I only wanted to back all our players who've been preparing well. When you play tournaments before a big World Cup, it helps and our players came in with a lot of confidence because of that," Babar added.
Earlier, Afridi gave a solid start to Pakistan by dismissing Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul in his first two overs. Skipper Virat Kohli scored 57 off 49 balls to help India reach 151 for 7.
