DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Pakistan has crushed India by 10 wickets for the first-ever victory against its archrival in a T20 World Cup game. Captain Babar Azam (68 not out) and Mohammad Rizwan (79 not out) struck superb unbeaten half centuries and eased Pakistan to 152-0 in 17.5 overs in Group 2 of the Super 12s. Fast bowler Shaheen Afridi (3-31) had earlier rattled India’s top order by removing both openers in his first two overs before skipper Virat Kohli’s 57 off 49 balls took the 2007 champion to 151-7. Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl.
