Most memorable India – Pakistan matches of all time
2) 2011 ICC World Cup Semi Final; India won by 29 runs
India came into the World Cup as clear favourites, as it was taking place on home turf. After a convincing display against the defending champions Australia in the quarter final at the Motera Stadium, it was time to face Pakistan in the semi final at Mohali.
With celebrities, diplomats, and PM’s of both countries in attendance, this was more than just a cricket match. The Men in Blue won the toss and chose to bat first. India got off to a flying start, kudos to Virender Sehwag’s sizzling innings. Sachin Tendulkar then went on to score 85 runs, albeit assisted by 4 dropped catches and surviving 2 very close LBW decisions.
India put on a total of 260 in 50 overs. The bowlers, then, did a fine job, bowling out the Pakistan side for 231 and booking their berth in the final.
India then went on to win the coveted trophy after 28 years, beating Sri Lanka in the finals at the Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai by 6 wickets.
