5 memorable India-Pakistan World Cup matches

Cricket matches between India and Pakistan are more like a battle between two major cricket following nations. The cricket field becomes a war zone when both these countries are playing against each other. Here is a compilation of 5 of the most memorable World Cup encounters between India and pakistan regardless of the formats. 

#5 2011 World Cup semi-final

India and Pakistan were facing each other in the semi-final of World Cup 2011 at Mohali, Chandigarh. India, batting first, had posted a total of 260 runs. Sachin Tendulkar, who had looked in sublime touch till then, found the going difficult. He still managed to score 85, though, courtesy of a shocking fielding display from the Pakistanis, who messed up as many as 3 opportunities. Adding to that, the Universal Decision Review System (UDRS) came to his rescue twice. India, inspired of Yuvraj Singh's bowling performance, won this match by 29 runs by bowling out Pakistan. Umar Akmal could very well have taken the match away from the home team on that day if not for Harbhajan Singh's faster delivery that sent him back to the pavilion.
