India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup Live Score: Pakistan's HISTORIC win by 10 wickets

With both the openers hitting really good fifties, Pakistan broke the jinx of losing World Cup matches to India in the 13th game.

Pakistan batsmen--Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan--proved why they are considered the best in the world in the match against India. While Rizwan scored 79 off 55, Azam made 68 off 52. Eventually, Pakistan won the match by 10-wickets.

Earlier, India riding on a fantastic fifty by Virat Kohli, ended the first innings at 151. Now, Pakistan will have to chase it down. It's not going to be easy for sure.

India last hosted Pakistan in a bilateral series in 2013 and the teams now meet only in global tournaments. The two teams last met in the group stages of the 2019 ICC Cricket World Cup, with India convincingly defeating the old rivals to maintain their undefeated streak in World Cups.

The two arch-rivals have met each other five times at a T20 World Cup and ‘Men in Blue’ have won on all the occasions. However, a new day awaits for both the teams on October 24 and they will have an equal chance to win.

Both teams come into the match with decent practice under their belt, having played two warm-up matches each. Pakistan beat West Indies by seven wickets in their first match before losing to South Africa off the last ball in the second. India, the 2007 champions, on the other hand, won both their warm-up matches, beating England and Australia.

The likes of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, and Rishabh Pant will be India`s strength in batting while Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, Md Shami, Shardul Thakur, and Varun Chakravarthy will pose a tough challenge to opposition batting.

For Pakistan, captain Babar Azam, wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan, and Mohammad Hafeez will be key in the batting while the likes of Shaheen Afridi, Hasan Ali, Imad Wasim, and Shadab Khan will look to trouble the Indian batters.
