Former right-handed batsman VVS Laxman tweeted that it was great to see that Pakistan finally broke the jinx of losing to India in a World Cup.
What a way to end their World Cup jinx against India. Afridi struck the early blows to set up the game for Pakistan, and the openers left nothing to chance. Excellent batting from Babar & Rizwan. India have plenty of work ahead, but have the pedigree to bounce back quickly.

Indian commentator Harsha Bhogle said, "India had no life in bowling and did not pose much of a challenge to the opposition.
India's bowling lacked any kind of zing today. There weren't many challenges thrown and that will engage the think tank far more than the batting which just came up against an inspired spell from an outstanding bowler.
