India bowled out Pakistan for just 191 in their high-profile World Cup clash on Saturday after their bitter rivals lost their last eight wickets for just 36 runs.
In front of around 120,000 fans, almost all Indian after Pakistanis were effectively banned from attending, the home side are well placed to claim an eighth win in eight World Cup meetings against their neighbours.The hosts elected to bowl first in Ahmedabad at the world's biggest cricket stadium.
Azam reached his fifty off 57 balls with a boundary but fell in the next over, bowled by Siraj as the crowd roared to see the back of the world's number one ODI batsman. Bumrah, playing in front of his home crowd, had a spring in his step and struck again in the next over to get Shadab Khan out for two."It has been a good World Cup so far, 100%," said Yadav at the innings break.
Pandya sent back left-handed opener Imam-ul-Haq for 36 before Azam and Rizwan mounted a repair job and got regular boundaries after they were well set.
