A dominant India have beaten Pakistan by 89 runs via Duckworth-Lewis method in a rain-hit group match at Old Trafford to remain unbeaten at the Cricket World Cup.
Put into bat in a stop-start match on Sunday, India posted a commanding 336/5 with Rohit Sharma (140) smashing his second century of the tournament.
Skipper Virat Kohli (77) and KL Rahul (57) also got fifty but Mohammad Amir's (3/47) tight death-overs spell denied India a 350-plus total in the sold-out contest between the arch-rivals.
A century stand between Fakhar Zaman (62) and Babar Azam (48) kept alive Pakistan's hopes until they suffered a batting collapse and finished on 212/6 in 40 overs chasing a revised target of 302.
Kuldeep Yadav, Hardik Pandya and Vijay Shankar claimed two wickets each for India who now have a 7-0 record against Pakistan at the World Cup.
