India routed Pakistan by seven wickets in a disappointingly one-sided World Cup clash at the 132,000-capacity Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad on Saturday.

Pakistan collapsed from 155-2 to be all out for 191 before India coasted home to their target with 117 balls to spare.

Skipper Rohit Sharma top scored for the hosts with 86 off 63 balls, a blistering innings featuring six fours and six sixes, while Shreyas Iyer hit an undefeated 53.
