4 reasons why the India-Pakistan rivalry has been one-sided in World Cup history

#2 Indian Bowling

Pakistan v India - 2011 ICC World Cup Semi-Final

The India-Pakistan match build-up is based on India's batting V Pakistan's bowling. While the batsmen have earned a lot of credit, it is the bowlers who silently perform their jobs effectively. Over the years, India's bowling has always stood up and performed well against Pakistan in World Cups.

Bowlers like Venkatesh Prasad, Javagal Srinath, Zaheer Khan have led the way with mighty impressive performances in the previous encounters.

The bowlers have been exceptional every time, be it defending a mediocre 260 on a flat Mohali wicket, a below-par 227 on Manchester wicket or restricting them under 280 on a beautiful Centurion wicket.

Even when the batsman put up big scores on the board, the bowlers make sure the victory is not tense but rather commanding. It is safe to say that, finally, India has reached a point where they can proudly say that the Indian bowling attack is more incisive than Pakistan's in World Cup encounters.
