Kolkata Airport makes history by welcoming first Giant Airbus Beluga XL
In a stunning display of cricket prowess, India clinched a resounding victory against Pakistan, defeating them by 7 wickets in their third match of the ICC World Cup 2023 at the illustrious Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Chasing a modest target of 192 runs, India's captain Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer took center stage with impressive half-centuries, securing the win at the world's largest cricket stadium.
Rohit Sharma led the charge with a stellar 86 off 63 balls, while Shreyas Iyer remained unbeaten to seal the triumph. This victory extended India's unbeaten record against Pakistan in ODI World Cups to 8-0, marking a historic moment for the Men in Blue.
The foundations for this triumph were laid by the Indian bowlers, who restricted Pakistan to a meager total of 191 runs, making it Pakistan's second-lowest score in ODI World Cup history against their arch-rivals. An impeccable bowling performance was delivered by Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, and Kuldeep Yadav, each bagging a pair of wickets. With this commanding win, India's momentum in the tournament remains unbroken as they look ahead to their next match against Bangladesh, while Pakistan will face the formidable five-time champions, Australia.
