Team India proved to be in far superior form against Pakistan.

A jubilant Indian team, led by skipper Virat Kohli, will take a couple of days off to relax and rejuvenate after a dominating win over Pakistan in the World Cup here.

Two-time former champions India dished out yet another professional performance on Sunday to outwit arch-rival and 1992 winner Pakistan by 89 runs to stay on course for a semifinal spot.
