India was the only unbeaten side in the ongoing cricket World cup before this match against with host nation England. It was a must win game for England to keep their semi-final hopes alive and they came to match with all guns blazing and outplayed India in all departments.
England by registering a win over India moved to fourth place in the table, this match had huge implications for teams like Sri Lanka – out of contention for a semi-final spot and Pakistan- moved to 5th in the standings and in a tough position to qualify for the semi-final. Pakistan fans started criticizing India’s batting effort in final overs of the game.

Indian fans reaction
I think Pakistan fans love the Indian team more than a Pakistan team. They were very furious with Indian team performance against England and there were calls for a match-fixing investigation. It’s funny that they never questioned their team’s performance in the tournament but questioning the Indian team commitment to winning, who lost just one match in this tourney. Pakistan fans should blame their side instead of blaming the Indian team for their fate.
