India continue its World Cup domination of archrival Pakistan, extending its winning streak to six with a lopsided 76-run victory Sunday in front of a crowd at the Adelaide Oval that quite easily could have been transplanted from the subcontinent.
India hadn’t won a competitive match in two months in Australia leading up to the World Cup, but returned to form suddenly for the grudge match on the bat of Virat Kohli, who ended a run of single-digit innings to score 107 off 126 balls and guide his team to 300-7
India's score of 300 /7 built mainly on the knocks by Virat Kohli (107, 126b, 8x4), Shikhar Dhawan (73, 76b, 7x4, 1x6) and Suresh Raina (74, 56b, 5x4, 3x6)

India continue its World Cup domination of archrival Pakistan, extending its winning streak to six with a lopsided 76-run victory Sunday in front of a crowd at the Adelaide Oval that quite easily could have been transplanted from the subcontinent.
India hadn’t won a competitive match in two months in Australia leading up to the World Cup, but returned to form suddenly for the grudge match on the bat of Virat Kohli, who ended a run of single-digit innings to score 107 off 126 balls and guide his team to 300-7
India's score of 300 /7 built mainly on the knocks by Virat Kohli (107, 126b, 8x4), Shikhar Dhawan (73, 76b, 7x4, 1x6) and Suresh Raina (74, 56b, 5x4, 3x6)
Virat Kohli went to the crease with the total at 34-1 and shared partnerships of 129
with Shikhar Dhawan (73) and 110 with Suresh Raina (74) before he was
caught behind off Sohail Khan (5-55) in the 46th over, triggering a
flurry of late wickets
In the process,Virat Kohli became
the first Indian batsman to score a century against Pakistan in the
World Cup, surpassing the 98 that Sachin Tendulkar scored at Centurion
in 2003
Saeed Anwar is the only player to have had a century (101 came at Centurion in 2003)in an India-Pakistan World Cup match
Virat Kohli reached triple figures with a single off Afridi to start the 43rd
over for his 22nd ODI hundred in 151matches, and his second in World Cups.
His innings was not without incident — a mix-up led to Dhawan’s run out at the non-striker’s end in the 30th over and he had a reprieve on 76 when part-time wicketkeeper Umar Akmal put down a regulation chance.

Suresh Raina, who clobbered three sixes and five boundaries in his 56-ball
innings, was next out as India lost its last 4 wickets for 16 runs as
Pakistan clawed back into the game.
After dismissing Kohli and Raina, and after Wahab Riaz bowled Ravi Jedaja (3) in the 49th, Sohail Khan started the last over by having M.S. Dhoni (18) caught off a top edge and bowling Ajinkya Rahane (0)

Pakistan’s chase started badly when veteran Younis Khan (6) was out with
the total at 11 and it fizzled out entirely after losing three wickets
for one run in nine deliveries — including opener Ahmed Shezhad (47) —
to slump to 103-5.
When Shahid Afridi (22) sliced a high catch to Kohli off Mohammad Shami (4-35) to make the total 149-6, groups of Pakistanis in the 41,587 crowd started filing out of the stadium.

The Indian bowlers backed-up a landmark century by Virat Kohli as the
defending champions continued their World Cup domination of Pakistan
Mohammad Shami picked up 4/35 and Umesh Yadav 2/50 and Mohit Sharma 2/35 as Pakistan were shot out for 224 with three overs to spare as
they suffered their sixth consecutive World Cup defeat by India dating
back to 1992
Skipper Misbahul Haq posted the only
half-century of the innings and was the ninth wicket to fall, caught
off Shami for 76 from 84 balls. It was all over by the 47th over, with
Pakistan all out for 224
'' We lost momentum with those three quick wickets — that really hurt us,”
said Misbah, who was unable to explain India’s streak against Pakistan.
“It’s important for us just to concentrate on the games which are
coming. If you keep on thinking about the game that is gone now, it’s
difficult to perform well.”
In 1992 in Sydney, India and Pakistan met for the first time in a World Cup match and India beat their bitter rivals by 43 runs .
In 1996 in Bangalore, India beat Pakistan by 39 runs
In 1999 in
Manchester India again got the better off their rivals with a 47-run win
In 2003 in
Centurion maintaining their stranglehold, India under captain Sourav
Ganguly beat their neighbours by six wickets
In 2011 in Mohali,India the 1983 champions hosted the quadrennial event and defeated Pakistan by 29 runs
