As the entire country watched the ongoing World Cup clash between India and Pakistan, the Border Security Force (BSF) personnel in Amritsar too cheered for Team India at the BSF headquarters in Khasa, on the outskirts of Amritsar. The BSF personnel also played dhol and danced to rally behind the Indian team which has put up a total of 336 runs against Pakistan at the Old Trafford stadium in Manchester.
A dominant India beat Pakistan by 89 runs via Duckworth-Lewis method in a rain-hit group match at Old Trafford to maintain their unbeaten World Cup record against their arch-rivals.
Put into bat in a stop-start match, 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 in World Cup.
