In pictures: How the highly anticipated Pakistan vs India match went down

Dawn.com

The atmosphere at Old Trafford on Sunday was electric as Pakistan and India went head to head in what began as a dramatic showdown in a key World Cup fixture.

Rain stopped play thrice, and eventually the D/L method was used to reduce play in the Pakistan innings to 40 overs.

The men in blue concluded the match with a decisive victory over Pakistan ─ their 7th consecutive win ─ against the side.
