India vs Pakistan live scorecard | Cricket World Cup 2019 | Rohit sets up seventh win for India against Pakistan in World Cup

India and Pakistan will be having their seventh meeting at the World Cup at Old Trafford in Manchester.

Rohit Sharma pulverised a pedestrian Pakistan attack with a stylish hundred to lead India to a challenging 336 for five against Pakistan in a marquee World Cup encounter in Manchester on Sunday.

Despite heavy rains and overcast conditions during past few days, the pitch had very little moisture and turned out to be a batting beauty which Rohit and the other Indian batsmen exploited to the fullest.

The Indian vice-captain scored his 24th ODI hundred — 140 off 113 balls while KL Rahul (57) played the perfect second fiddle in an opening partnership of 137 runs.

Skipper Virat Kohli switched gears effortlessly during his 77 off 65 balls and also became the quickest to 11,000 ODI runs, eclipsing a 17-year record held by iconic Sachin Tendulkar.

Rohit hit 140, his second century of the tournament and 24th ODI hundred overall.

India have not yet lost to Pakistan in World Cup matches, winning all six games till date.

 Rain halting play

Rain has played spoilsport at the ongoing International Cricket Council (ICC) cricket World Cup England and Wales 2019, washing out a number of matches, including India’s clash with New Zealand. As wet weather continues to affect games, the Duckworth-Lewis-Stern (DLS) method could come to feature prominently at the tournament.

India were 305 for four in 46.4 overs against Pakistan when rain halted play in their World Cup clash, in Manchester on Sunday.

Skipper Virat Kohli (71) and Vijay Shankar (3) were at the crease when the skies opened up.

India have a 6-0 record against Pakistan in World Cup matches.

Indian captain Virat Kohli stepped up the pedal and tormented the Pakistani bowlers by scoring his 51st ODI half-century during the 2019 Cricket world Cup match against Pakistan in Manchester on Sunday.

It is also Virat Kohli's second consecutive half-century of the 2019 Cricket World Cup.

Earlier, Rohit Sharma completed his 24th ODI hundred during the 2019 World Cup match against Pakistan in Manchester on Sunday.

This is the second century for Rohit Sharma in this World Cup. He had already scored a brilliant century against South Africa in the opening encounter.

Pakistan won the toss and opted to field against India in the high-octane clash of the World Cup in Manchester on Sunday.
