Misbah you are a curse to this team. So many new and unknowns, how this team even qualified for the game is beyond me.

Some thing to share from India...don't know why but that thrill is missing here..may be we are becoming too mechanical..anyway let there be such fun and thrill for the two countries ! Cheers !!

Sorry Pak... better luck next time.

Great job indian tigers....salute

DAWN is the best Newspaper I knew on Earth. Love you Dawn. Fantastic Pictures. From India...

The only player that was worth playing against the mighty Indian team was Misbah. Well done Virat Kohli, Shikar Dawan, Suresh Raina and Misbah! Very professional and disciplined game by Indians who deserved the victory.

Humiliated and defeated - again

good pictures thanks raghu

Thank you Pakistan for 6-0

Lungi Dance.. Lungi Dance....Lungi Dance.. Lungi Dance....Lungi Dance.. Lungi Dance....Lungi Dance.. Lungi Dance....Lungi Dance.. Lungi Dance....!!!!!

Well another India Pakistan match, congratulations to India, commiserations for Pakistan. And besides cricket, a big applause also for Misbahul Haq on how he diffused tension between Sohail Khan and virat Kohli. An aggravation of situation on ground would have an impact on passionate fans off the ground. Politicians on both sides should learn from Misbah on how to manage difficult emotions and maintain calm. Hats off to players of both countries for trying their best and bearing the burden of expectations of 1.5billion people. Thanks, An Indian cricket Fan.

@Azi You are being too harsh on him. Misbah's batting effort was pure tenacity. From our end, his dismissal was a relief.

It has been a talk about strong Indian Batting versus strong Pakistani bowling. Looks like India's batting is superior to Pakistan's bowling given that they scored 300 runs! On the same lines Indian bowlers are better than Pakistani batsmen conceding only 224 runs.. I see that Paksitan has made a losing a habit...and that does not augur well.

Whatever I have seen of Misbah, I feel he plays too slow. Why is he in ODI team? And for how long will Afridi be the only hope for PCB. It's sad to see very good bowling side lose badly because of ver bad batting.

Mauka....mauka ......

India success is good for business and business is money and money rules.

@Azi: Why do Pak fans hate Misbah is beyond me. He is the only one in the side to have some maturity and patience. He plays proper responsible cricketing shots and doesn't get out to some rash manufactured slogs like the rest of the others. He lacks support at the other end.

Can Pakistan lend us some of their bowlers for death overs please.

Cricket is all about India as it is the biggest market , until China comes along and makes it big.

Wish both the teams will meet again may be in finals of this world cup. For today's match hard luck to my Pakistani brothers.

Where there is good economics there is a good win.

great match apart from misbah i suppose ever one has to improve thier game in pak team including shajhad

My Pakistani brothers played well but I guess it was hard luck,they've got to learn to play under pressure ....anyway better luck next time .....Cheers,Noel from Mumbai

@Azi How is Misbah to blame for this loss? He is the one who made this loss a little less embarrassing with his 76.

Today Pakistan had a great chance to outpost India's 301 considering out so called mediocre attack. I believe Pakistani batsman were done in due to their immaturity and hurry to finish the game. Indian batsman shown how to build an innings. 6-0 is just result. Pakistan have to rebuilt their confidence and fight for another day.

@Azi eve3n though i am indian, I support Misbahs captaincy. He is a Great player even though the world is not aware of it.......he is in the lague of Sachin tendulkar, Gavaskar and Miandad

India played a better all round game Pakistani current team is the best we have But lacks high quality attack bowling and batting is mediocre Should not loose heart and focus on the next game Need to get Asad Shafiq back in place of Younis Desperately needs Saeed Ajmal back in team to improve the spin attack!

my simple and pure countrymen in picture no 2..the common people of Pakistan..may they live long..the most beautiful picture

It was a good game. One team has to win and other has to lose. India was a better team on the day and won. Another game and it could mean another result. Pakistani team play very well. I am in Indian and glad that my team won.

If the game of Cricket can bring the two nations - Pakistanis and Indians - together it wil be great!

This was not the best available pakistan team...without ajmal..hafeez...junaid it was a toothless attavk...india also is not the better team...india now need to play against the stronger sides aus..nz...sa...eng.to prove its worth Pakistan should look to make its benchstrength stronger...hope the ind pak relations improve and pakistan sportsperson can play in indian leages and make more competant...best of luckkk.my brothers...

@A Shah it is just a game bro.. Victory and loss is a part of it. Take it easy goingly.

Misbah is sheer class. indian bowlers had no clue to get his wicket. As long as Afridi and Misbah were there Pakistan had chance. I would however say Aridi is the most overrated player and PAk persists with future hope that he never delivers. he can hit quick fire few odd sixes and that's it.

Only Misbah and our bowlers were worth some praise. Our batsmen failed miserably. Still, this heart STILL bleeds GREEN. We are still up in ODI record :)

@Jalaluddin S. Hussain My brother, one of the reasons I do not care for Indo Pak fixtures is because they are invariably preceded and followed by so much vitriol, venom, jingoism, and the inordinate amount of vicariousness. The casualty becomes the game itself. Very people remember the game, the rest remember the result. A few generations from now people from both nations will look at the past sixty five years and call it the Dark Ages, where their ancestors had not evolved. The teams need to play the game, and not the rivalry. Peace my brother.

Weather India wins or pak wins. It is a game of cricket which wins. Thanks for the game which both countries play to the fullest of their potential. So let's say cheers to Big brother India which won the fantastic game

Misbah is a Gem....I wish Pakistan has more players like him, Good luck next time....India played well and the best team won.

@Azi Misbah 76 runs

Thanks for sharing ! Beautiful pics @DAWN! :)

On the given day India played better and won.. Indian team have got back some confidence after their disastrous 2 months in Australia which should serve them well . Pakistan on the other hand have got somee shock treatment which will enable them to pull up their socks. I hope the 2 teams meet again in the Finals !

Whether one wins or loses...its the spirit that matters. PAkistan played like tigers too..but one side has to win and one has to loose. We won this time..but this is cricket and anything can happen next. So Guys..the main thing is that..we all Enjoyed a thrilling match ! Ps. One message from India...Yaar..Your Girls are more beautiful than ours. ;)

DAWN, you set really great standards of reporting. Celebrate for both countries, hatred for none!!

there was a pakistani HULK in the stadium, but when pakistan start crumbling that '' INCREDIBLE PUNK'' disappear. Haahahahhahahahahh.......hahahahhah

@Jalaluddin S. Hussain What if india and pak field a single team

No worries,Pakistanis!!! You are a great team and I wish you the best for future matches!!!What matters is sportsmanship at the end of the day!!!

3rd photo, Yasir shah's leap for the catch and Indian fans' reactions are fantastically captured. Dawn always rock with Camera.

Seems like its fool's paradise that writing is trying to showcase the local audience of Pakistan. There are two unrealistic dreams of Pakistan that it would never get. 1) win against Indian in world cup 2) Kashmir - the integral part of India.

Congrats to india again they played good cricket pakistan tried to play sensible cricket which did not go their way but misbah for his 76 very well done that 76 is much better cuz the pressure he was in .I think pakistan need some one who can explain what to do when things are not going your way.well done india Better luck pakistan next time .Even though pakistan lost I love the pakistan team I hope they take positive out of this long live PAKISTAN. .l love this country no matter what.

i think its one sided match pak bat need a lot of practice and confidence to win the remaining matches

@mithun anand well said.from inda ...

both team played very well but i think indian strong bating line giving them edge to win

The cricket rivalry between India and Pakistan should be friendly and no hostility or politics should influence it. Then only losing will be taken in its stride as part of the game and not considered a national humiliation.Pakistan team has a better wining record against India but in the world cup they are under too much pressure to win and that affects their performance otherwise they are wining team.

Healthy competition brings the best in the players from both countries and we fans get a treat irrespective of who wins or loses..however never forget the same blood runs among us..so cheer for both brotherly teams! Cheers to India and Pakistan !

It is going to be hard for Pakistan team to win a match in this World Cup.The batsmen are not playing well and the bowlers look weak.Where is umer Gul and sohail tanveer? It will be Australia and NewZealand in the final and of course Australia wining it.

@Dawn You always score a perfect ten in top-shots on any event. However, the most rememberable photo-shots were pictures of Indian school children praying after the unfortunate Peshawar incident which brought tears in many Indian parents eyes.

@Manzoor Correct prediction.

Pretty good game of cricket and equally nicely captured through the lenses - Thank you. I agree with most the comments that Misabh is probably the best player and the best man to lead the team; it's always so good to see him building his inning and being the back bone of the Pak middle order - I also agree that Afridi is overrated. Also, let the game be a game I guess both sides put their teams under a lot of pressure unnecessarily. And yes, I do like Dawn, please keep up the good work.

Nice picture collections! More than anything, the thrill and fun we cannot get from other teams game. Pakistani lady fans are beautiful! - Don't tell this comment from an Indian.

@Jalaluddin S. Hussain You are right bro. Only Politicians of both sides have to learn.

@Azi Please don't curse Mizba , I was some distance away watching the match in Adelaide stadium. If you have to curse please curse others. Mizba couldn't have done any thing when he kept losing support one after the other. He can only be commended for narrowing the loss. Younus Khan and Umar Akmal have outlived there stay in the team. They are now more a liability than blessing. We were ashamed of dismal performance of the team as whole. I for one would not go to any matches featuring this team in the rest of the World Cup events. I had purchased all tickets featuring Pakistani . I am willing to donate all , but there are no takers atleast for now in Adelaide.

@India rocks; well done Akmal and Yassir for dropping the catches. great

Great pictures DAWN. Pakistani fans, your time to celebrate will come soon.

@A Shah ; not humiliated, just defeated.

@allahinme ; Misbah is a good player and should have been groomed for greatness from earlier

AWW kholi and afridi's shot is so cute:)

It seems like Yasir Sahah had 5 missed opportunities for 60 runs.

Good Pictures showing the emotions both sides of the border!!

@dinesh : Keep calm. It is still 51-72 in favor of Pakistan. Take world cups out, and it stands at dismal 45-72

nice one

One great gesture was the way the players played like gentlemen no curses on the opponent. Special mention to Kohli-Afridi and to all the fans.

Pakistan has always had many talented & great players, but rarely do they all gel well together as a team. I wonder why? Is it personalities & ego's clashing that prevents them from putting forward their best as a team? I think the PCB selection committees & coaches should address that issue and inculcate team spirit. Maybe classes on team bonding & team spirit would be in order.Some amount of healthy competition between team members is good, but cut throat competition is detrimental & I think that is what is holding Pakistan's team back.

India might have won the match........but present pakistan team is no good than 1996 pakistan team....I think there is no contest between pakistan and India at present day. Indian batting is more powerfull than pakistan. PCB should find some good talent and bring them to present team. We Indians like good fight between bat and ball not one sided match.

as we growup and mature we realise that its only a game...our two countries divided, but people, culture, life styles and language - all same. How sad. Hope a day will come when the pople of two countries will put the pressure on their Govts that they should reunite again..

Why players like Imran, Wasim, Waqar, Saeed have stopped coming in Pakistani cricket? Compared to that, Indian team is getting better by every passing day.

Just because you fail, does not make you a failure. #PAKISTAN don't stop, don't give up.
