As Pakistan chased down the goal of 152 in 17.5 overs, Mohammad Rizwan (79 not out off 55) and skipper Babar Azam (68 not out off 52) were at ease. Pakistan also broke the jinx of never defeating India in a World Cup after the victory.

It is impossible to deny that Team India’s performance against Pakistan was a tremendous letdown. However, there are three reasons why Virat Kohli’s team’s defeat may have come at the opportune time.

In recent ICC events, Team India’s performances have followed a pattern. They almost always start with a bang and conclude with a whimper. This was also the situation during the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, the 2019 World Cup, and the World Test Championship (WTC).

#2 Needless hype over India’s unbeaten streak will end

Die-hard Fans of Team India will be devastated that their country’s World Cup unbeaten streak against Pakistan has come to an end. It was an incredible run since India had never lost to their arch-rivals in a World Cup match. Whether in 50-overs or T20s, before Sunday. This winning streak began in 1992 in Sydney when Team India defeated Pakistan.

#3 It cannot get any worse for Team India

The beating that Team India experienced at the hands of Pakistan on Sunday left them with no positives. But that is India’s most important takeaway from the game. Everything that might have gone wrong for Kohli and his teammates against Pakistan in Dubai happened.

They did, however, lose the toss and were forced to bat first in conditions that required an early swing. Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul, who were expected to launch the team off to a blazing start, died before Squad India supporters could get into their seats.
