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 on Sunday.
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.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Rohit Sharma 10/10 Sublime. A magnificent 140 off just 113 balls that put India in command of the game. Only low point was a poorly executed scoop shot which resulted in his dismissal.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan KL Rahul 8/10 Scored a patient, composed half century to lay the foundations for India and support main man Rohit. Did well to step up in the absence of Shikhar Dhawan.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Virat Kohli 9/10 Dependable and consistent with the bat as ever. Batted intelligently throughout the innings and played some excellent shots towards the end. Fielded brilliantly, too.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Hardik Pandya 8/10 Hit a couple of big shots having been pushed up the order but looked slightly out of sorts and didn’t play with his usual authority. Made up for it with the ball, though, taking two wickets from two deliveries in the midst of Pakistan’s collapse.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan MS Dhoni 5/10 A disappointing display with the bat from the legendary batsman and wicket-keeper. Was caught behind after swinging at a wide delivery on just one run. Reliable as ever behind the stumps, though.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Vijay Shankar 8/10 A late flurry with the bat at the end to take India beyond 330. Did well with the ball, too, taking over from the injured Bhuvneshwar and getting the early wicket of Imam. Out-bowled Jasprit Bumrah.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Bhuvneshwar Kumar 6/10 Pulled up with an injury in his third over having started well. India will hope it’s nothing serious.
PA
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Kedar Jadav 6/10 Hit a couple of nice shots as India’s last batsman in. Didn’t have much time to get into his stride.
Reuters
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Jasprit Bumrah 6/10 India didn’t need too much out of their best fast bowler, which bodes well for the remainder of the tournament. Wickets came from elsewhere, though Bumrah opened the bowling well along with Bhuvneshwar.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Kuldeep Yadav 8/10 Bowled the delivery of the day to take the wicket of Babar. Used the surface well to spin the ball and kept things tight throughout.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Yuzvendra Chahal 6/10 Began well but was overshadowed by fellow leg-spinner Kuldeep.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Imam-ul-Haq 5/10 Was unable to deal with the movement of India’s bowlers early on and fell for just seven runs.
AFP/Getty Images
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Fakar Zaman 7/10 Played very well for his 62 runs and gave Pakistan a solid foundation to build on. Wasn’t helped by his teammates.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Babar Azam 7/10 Batted well and forged an impressive partnership with Fakhar to keep Pakistan in with a slim chance of chasing India’s total. Fell just short of a half century.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Sarfaraz Ahmed 5/10 Struggled to just 12 runs off 30 runs but established some semblance of control alongside Wasim following three quick wickets.
AFP/Getty Images
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Shoaib Malik 3/10 Went for a duck off just one delivery.
AP
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Mohammad Hafeez 4/10 Could only manage nine runs and his dismissal was unusually soft. A tame performance from such a gifted batsman.
AFP/Getty Images
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Shadab Khan 5/10 Struggled to make an impact with the ball but recovered after an expensive first over. Rain stopped play before he could contribute with the bat, but he played a few nice strokes to finish.
AFP/Getty Images
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Imad Wasim 7/10 Was controlled and economical with the ball, despite failing to take a wicket. Put in an impressive display with the bat to steady the ship after Pakistan’s middle order collapsed.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Wahab Riaz 6/10 Occasionally looked a threat with the ball. Like Hassan, though, he allowed India to score too freely, particularly in his last over, from which 12 runs came.

Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Hassan Ali 4/10 Took the wicket of Rohan but struggled to find the right line and length and shipped runs at a rate of 9.33 an over.
AFP/Getty Images
Player ratings from India vs Pakistan Mohammad Amir 8/10 Pakistan’s best bowler. Took three wickets – including that of Kohli – and bowled with pace and accuracy throughout India’s innings. Restricted the run rate well, too.
