For the all cricket fans across the world, 14th February may be the day to celebrate the start of the World Cup, but for the fans in the subcontinent, it will be 15th February when defending champions India face arch-rivals Pakistan in a group B Match at the Adelaide Oval.This will be their sixth clash in World Cup matches. India have won all their five encounters vs Pakistan (1992, 1996, 1999, 2003 and 2011).Here, we have put together the turning points of each of those clashes:

#1 1992 - Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney

It was the first time when the two traditional rivals met at the World Cup in SCG on march 4,1992.

Sachin-Kapil partnership: The Indian openers were sent back to the pavillion by the fiery Pakistani attack. At one moment, India were struggling with the scoreboard reading 148/5 after the dismissal of Vinod Kambli and Sanjay Manjrekar on successive Mushtaq Ahmed deliveries. Then, Sachin Tendulkar, who was joined by Kapil Dev, steadied the ship and took the score to 216. Sachin smashed an unbeaten 54 runs and scored 60 runs in just 8 overs with the legendary Kapil Dev.

Aamir Sohail’s wicket: Pakistan were solid and seemed comfortable in their run chase having scored 100 for the loss of just two wickers. Then, something unexpected happened, Sachin got rid of Aamir Sohail (who was on 62 and going well). After that Pakistan collapsed and were bowled out for 177.
