- Group 2: Pakistan 152-0 beat India 151-7 by 10 wickets
- Shaheen Shah Afridi decides contest with thrilling spell
It has been 29 years in the making, but when Pakistan finally broke the World Cup shackles that India had placed them firmly in, they did so in the most emphatic fashion possible. The game lasted 37.5 overs but in reality the contest was decided in 19 balls.
Shaheen Afridi had his plans in place, skills sharpened and steamed in to let loose not so much cricket balls but precision-guided missiles that produced shock and awe.
