Adelaide: India have continued its World Cup domination of arch-rivals Pakistan, extending their winning streak to six with a lopsided 76-run victory on Sunday in front of a crowd at the Adelaide Oval that quite easily could have been transplanted from the subcontinent.
India hadn't won a competitive match in two months in Australia leading up to the World Cup, but returned to form suddenly on the bat of Virat Kohli, who ended a run of single-digit innings to score 107 and guide his team to 300-7.
In the process, he became the first Indian batsman to score a century against Pakistan at the World Cup.
Pakistan was all out for 224, its chase starting badly and fizzling after losing three wickets for one run in nine balls to slump to 103-5.
