Great game and sportsmanship from the players. Virhat a true sportsman left the field that he was caught though the replay showed it was not so for he mistook the loose handle of his bat noise for the flick. Better team won the match.

Nice pics Dawn !!

Awesome Pictures Dawn, love them ! No body can beat you in pictures .

thanks for lovely pics Dawn...love from india..

Dawn your photographs are out of this world. You force me not to go to the stadium to watch the match with your excellent coverage. Keep up the good work, and thanks.

Only see Indian fans & flags.

Absolutely mind-blowing pictures!!! These pictures indeed are worth a billion words. THANKS, DAWN!!!!!!

It was a darn good opportunity for the hitman to make a double-ton against the weak Pakistani bowling today. Poor thing just missed out. Anyway, it's proven beyond doubt today that Form is temporary, class is permanent. And that India is in a different class altogether. Pity the people who keep harping about the CT17 final. They need to be more realistic and less optimistic.

correction: it is Kohli and iAd Waseem in the last photo

beautiful pictures. made my day

Excellent pictures of the match

Wonderful coverage...

Continued... Inzamam and selection team has to go too. As they are incapable of selecting the right team. If Australia can select Steve Smith and David Warner then why can’t Pak select Mohammed Asif. Asif has served his punishment and should have been selected as he is the best swing bowler in the world and a match winner. Similarly, Anwar Ali is a match winning batsmen and fielder who bowls excellent. Saad Nasim scored a century against Australia in UAE and then he was dropped. Inzamam and selection committee needs to understand that it is about Pakistan and not their personal opinion and grudges.

Beautiful pictures

Nice pics...

We wanted only pak team pictures not others.

Pakistan team lacks consistency which Indian batsmen have. They were nowhere near Indian team in any department. Indian team was much better in batting, bowling & fielding. Even Sarfaraz lacks planning when it comes to bowling attack. The better team won.

Most Pakistani players generally are good for PSL level Cricket which is way below international class. One can see the huge difference in batting techniques b/w Pakistani players and other international players. Problem is every now and then our boys somehow manage to impress and then we start putting too much Fith in them, without remembering the fundamental fault due to fitness and technique

Hope the sport promotes the love between the brothers. We are children of the same mother land.

IK may be right about toss and batting first.Seems he should give up on PM post meant for improving health of "Pakistan nation" and pick up the job of improving the health of "Pakistan cricket" by becoming cricket coach.

An easy win for India - pakistani batting lacked punch today.

Great, vivid photos!

great pics. Awesome work Dawn.

It is good to see players from both sides being friendly with each others sharing laughter. Hope people from both countries also become more friendly and live in peace.

Very good pics!!

Great sportsmanship displayed by both teams.Thsnks.

Indian team is a proper team, they play without fear. Respect for Virat Kohli from a Pakistani.

I love my India. May we win always.

Honestly speaking, current Indian team is not in the same league as current pak team...match was over hyped by media...to me, this WC is about eng, India.

Fantastic Pictures . Love Dawn

Beautiful Pictures! Well done India, you deserve it! True Champion!!!

Beautiful Pics- Thanks Dawn for posting awesome pictures of the match.

Nice pics, thanks dawn

Ask Pakistani fans what their reaction is about so called captain sarfaraz

Very good picture and coverage of the match.

It was a one sided match, India outplayed Pakistan without any challenged.

I am so happy to see the players interacting, and actually smiling and laughing together, this is how Indians and Pakistanis act towards each other around the world. Our politicians should look at these pics and learn from it. Congrats India on the win, Pakistan team, back to the training camp boys, you did your best, I'm proud of you regardless, I'm a fan, even when you lose.

This is the spirit of India and Pakistan. There is loads of humane touch among us....

When will the mindset of the people change that it's just a game. One team will win and the other will loose. While the two countries continue to show the world that one is better than the other, the rest of the world is moving on and we continue to fight one another

Heart warming to see the interaction between India and Pakistan players, hope rest of people can take this as a game and get along.

Great pictures, Dawn!

THese pics are awesome. Great job

Request all never treat games between Pakistan & India as war. They are just games and better team win. Enjoy the game and let players also enjoy to bring the best. Better luck next time Pakistan and prepare better from now to next event.

Good Pictures..... It was a good game to watch and I am happy to see India won it so comfortably

Feel bad and sad

Brilliant performance by India ... congrats

The best thing of this article is the photography. Excellent photo shoot, one moment I thought it to be HD TV by itself.

The best part of the match was the friendship shown between the two teams. It looked like friends from the neighborhood getting together to play. Why are we fighting again..?

Watching Mohamed amir bowling is a delight to watch. India Pakistan game always create magic moments

Thanks Dawn for the wonderful pics.

except the Governments on both ends, people from both countries are humble and friendly around the world.

Wonderful photos... Take it as a game bro. Today or tomorrow we have to stay together.

Hardly any Pakistani fans in the stadium. Mostly a sea of Blue with some greens in between..maybe, the ticket prices had something to do with it.

@LAHORI KID, EXACTLY BEYOND THE GAME APPROACH OF THE PLAYERS AND FANS LOOKS VERY HAPPY TO SEE

Well done Dawn for excellent photographs. That's the spirit irrespective of frenzied fans and media. Give a break to your boys. They did their best. Only India was more clinical and self assured.

Excellent and unbiased pictures by Dawn, Both teams were winners in sportsmanship

As Destin Sparks said, “Photography is the story I fail to put into words.” Amazing photo journal by Dawn.

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad, you actually said something positive about India! Now I can die happy!

@LAHORI KID, It will be all same even you and me meet outside our country. We speak same language, similar food and very old history than most of the semitic religion.

I would congratulate to dawn for such amazing shots and greatest reporting. There's no Indian media who have shared such moments. Love it. Keep sharing the emotions, feelings, love to both sides.

In picture no 9, its Rohit Sharma celebrating half century not KL Rahul. Plz correct.

It seems like a friendly match.

Thank you dawn... for beautiful pictures... Love from India....

@Shampee, Not true people do have hatred but that is sowed by BIG forces that play mind games with all countries when any religion is mixed up. These people and dark forces know about human psychology and use them more than people use it for themselves! Result is no wonder, we end up forgetting the history with every freaking generation! Human flaws and its abilities are known to all but individual if he the individual finds it out first he wins. Dark forces lose. Till that happens history will repeat we like it or not. Today it is these 'set' of religions after few centuries it may be something totally not religious but people will find a reason to do so, so long they succumb to human flaws and not human abilities, SAD but true !

Amazing pictures of game.This was only a game not war and some one has to win and this time fortunately Indian won.

Most important picture of Sarfaraz yawning is missing.

You missed to put up the most iconic picture of yesterday's game. Sarfaraz Ahmed yawning. That was a metaphor for the yawning gap between the two teams.

this is why i like dawn ,Amazing Photography Thanks Dawn

Very good coverage by Dawn. It was a delight to watch the match. A combined Indo-Pak team would be all time World Champion.

@The Truth Spy, our reaction is same as yours when Javed Miandad hit a six on the last ball of Chittan Sharma.....

If Imam can play. Why Faisal Iqbal was not given chance to play

Very nice photography. Thanks Dawn team. I regularly follow this newspaper as it maintains a certain level of high standard in terms of contents and language. All the best.

@Dr. Salaria, Aamir Ahmad, Why sudden change of heart- from being the 'most media hyped' team to 'True Champion'? India has always been a True Champion for it wants to play by the true spirit of the game-win or lose. We are not gloating over our rival's loss. What India is going thru is a socio-economic transformation and sports is a tool in that. When that change reaches its peak in another decade or two, India will not be an economic super power alone but will see huge success in other spheres too. We wish our neighbours, including Pakistan, to join that journey. But, unfortunately , Pakistan seems to have chosen a different course.

Thank you dawn

This is my individual opinion and feeling. Knowing fully the weather condition and high probability of facing target as per D/L formula, Pakistan, having won the toss, should have opted to bat first. The Chances for Pakistan could have been better.

I feel I was inside the stadium, awesome pictures

Out of the remaining matches, Pakistan realistically has a chance just against Afghanistan. But that too is 50-50 as we saw in practice match.

Very disappointment over Pakistan's worst performance and it looks that team has not any planning for this important match.

I don’t want to see this all the time. No more cricket

Great pics

Thank U dawn for this epic covering.

Love you the Dawn! A masterpiece of photojournalism.

through out the match India played really well.Kohli Lots of Love from Pakistan

Nice pics, Good to see light moments among players. Hope to follow same as Nation.

Awesome pics, Dawn! Thanks

@INDUSTIGER, True. Dawn photo series are the best...

Disappointment again on losing to India ......well played India thoroughly deserved to win

I hope that the example both teams have set in camaraderie is taken up by the respective political leadership.

Awesome pictures, thank you Dawn. It's like living through the game! And what a great game between the two Giants of cricket! It was a delight watching India play and on the same note, Pakistan team is also a great team and is bound to make a remarkable comeback! No team should be judged overall by performance in just one or few games. One team was bound to lose, it could also gave been India. Some if my very good friends are from Pakistan and I feel for them. Glory to both teams, and glory to cricket!

Fantastic pictures Dawn. Thankyou .

Fantastic pictures. None can beat dawn in this. Pity our Indian papers have forgotten photography!

Let the politicians on both sides - India and Pakistan - be tolerant to each other.

I lovedvMohammad Amir Babar Azam and Fakar Zaman's performances. They are excellent players . PCB needs to sack shoaib Hafiz, Imam and sarfaraz as they are pretty useless.

Such a wonderfuland warm moments. DAWN is professional PIC winner. I love your pictaures all accross various segments.

DAWN, you took us through the whole day in few priceless moments captured in your lens.... Keep up the good work...No wonder why many indians are seen sharing their thoughts. Quality work gets appreciated, no matter on which side of the boundary you are

Brilliant pictures. Thanks Dawn

Superb pictures by dawn.

Superb!

Super photography by Dawn. Congratulations India. Sorry Pakistani, back to more practice.

Nice pic dawn you always awesome in photos

Dawn which camera this one is? Nice pics

I never imagined once a mighty Pakistan team will face such days. In 1980s and 90s I used to pray that India must not play against Pakistan or West Indiese.

Nice snaps ,the spirit of the game should always be uplifted and not seen politically ,Nice to see the teams chatting

@Meh, Indian from San Jose, California, that’s exactly my point. No team should be judged based on one single performance. The win against England honestly was the anomaly and it the normal. Although Pakistanis seem to be judging their team based on that one win.

Great pictures. I love you "DAWN"

NICE PICS THIS MATCH SHOULD HAVE BEEN ENJOYED BU BOTH NATION, HYPE BUILT AROUND IS NOT GOOD

@Vijay, Ek apna ANI ka camera hai, Upgrade bhi nahi karte.

Beautiful pictures, fantastic angles, precise moments !! Remembered the days when Sports Star was read regularly in households.

@Syed Shahzad Bukhari, Disappointment again on losing to India ......well played India thoroughly deserved to win Accept truth, See India with full open eyes to avoid disappointment!

Lovely summation of the match in pictures. Wish the match had lasted full length

Wonderful picture collection.

No need to make too much of the loss . It is only a game. A loss is not the end of the world. But Pakistan has to improve its fielding to be a contender. It is not up to world standards.

@LAHORI KID, "I am so happy to see the players interacting, and actually smiling and laughing together, this is how Indians and Pakistanis act towards each other around the world. Our politicians should look at these pics and learn from it" Show these pictures to your non-state actors too. See if they believe in keeping down the weapons.

As usual, great pictures!

You have given the Picture story of the match. Thank You

Excellent pictures ......Enjoyed all

Great Game

@Shampee, you are right. I think there should be a movement where millions from both the countries. Meet at the border and remove all the bunkers and fences. Pakistani players are full of great talent. I saw them being criticised and ridiculed by many including Shoaib Akhtar. Woh huamara beta hai, batheeja hai, bhanja hai. Just because they lost does not make them bad.

you are 1 out of 1000000 in Pakistan, who thinks differently

Lovely pics.

Dhawan-Shoaib, vijay-amir, virat-Imad. Thanks for these combination pics. They will surely make us feel less-hateful, albeit for a small time. Thanks Dawn and the players

Sarfaraz, the only thing that stands out is his unkept Physique. He should be a role model for the population of Pak and all sports people around. But his thoughts seem to be different

Dawn, One request- Can you sell one of your camera to our TimesofIndia?

Nice Rocking match there is now doubt about. Again want to view more matches among this two teams without any Political Bindings. Thanks to Dawn for viewing India Vs Pakistan in Old Trafford.

Where is the picture of Sarfaraz's yawning which was the highlight of all.

Excellent photos. Thanks Dawn. And no one can beat you in photography.

@Aslam Qadri, Coz Tickets were costly..

Beautiful pictures.

I always waits for pics to be published in dawn be it diwali, ganesh puja, eid, general election pic, football wc or this mrmorable cricket match. Dawn amazing work

Well played India

India won it purely on merit, Pakistan were just not there. Best of luck for both teams for the rest of the tournament.

@Aslam Qadri, The ticket was very expensive.

amazing pictures. Sad that ***NONE** of the Indian newspapers are able to do this online.

Brain frozen players who never adjust according to situation!

Dawn is Top Class! I have not seen this quality of photography in any newspaper, not even in the US!. Bravo Dawn and Congrats for defining the quality and standard for newspapers around the world. Best wishes!

Babar Azam had not taken a wicket.

@Aslam Qadri, Yeah ,as the tickets were costly and not everyone can afford it.

Great pictures to capture the mood of the event.

In yesterday's game, Best team won the match. Pak team lacked in every department which was a main reason for their defeat.

I am happy, because I dint waste time watching this match. We friends had a good outing, and had Biryani at night. Feel sorry for all Cricket fanatics who watched the entire match, some fools even broke their expensive LED TVs.

Hats off Dawn. I always come here to check the photo section. Outstanding work.
