2003 ICC Cricket World Cup

Both teams were well-balanced. Pakistan boasted of a fearsome bowling attack in Akram, Waqar, and Akhtar. It was a serene setting, perfect for a World Cup cricket match. It proved to be the case. Saeed Anwar smashed a magnificent century to set the tone for Pakistan’s 273-run victory. India got off to a flying start thanks to Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, and Pakistan never recovered. Mohammad Kaif, Rahul Dravid, and Yuvraj Singh put on a fantastic start to win by 26 runs. Tendulkar’s tenacious attack was the show-stopper of India’s dazzling performance that magical evening.
