Besides Kohli, Hardik Pandya also contributed with the bat en route to India's historic victory.

India vs Pakistan: As it happened

Pakistan had their noses in front against India and had to only defend 16 runs in the final over to register their second-ever win over India in the World Cup. Pakistan skipper Babar Azam gave Mohammad Nawaz the chance to bowl the final over. The left arm spinner started the over by dismissing Hardik Pandya. Dinesh Karthik took a single in the next ball before Virat Kohli scored two runs off the third ball. With India still requiring 13 runs to win off the last three deliveries the momentum of the match shifted when Nawaz bowled a no ball, which Kohli smashed for a six-over deep square.

The Pakistan spinner under pressure bowled a wide delivery before conceding three runs in byes off the fourth delivery. Another twist came in the match when Nawaz dismissed Karthik via stumping off his fifth delivery, leaving the equation to two runs off the last ball. The match turned towards India's favour yet again after Nawaz bowled yet another wide. With a single needed of the final ball, R Ashwin calmly hit a lofted shot over mid-off to seal the match for India.
