बता दे कि, इस जीत के साथ टीम इंडिया प्वाइंट्स टेबल पर पहले स्थान पर पहुंच गई है। वहीं, पाकिस्तान टीम के हाथों में मायूसी लगी है। जबकि इस मुकाबले में हार के बाद पाकिस्तान टीम ही नहीं पाकिस्तान के फैंस भी सदमे में और इस मैच के खत्म होने के बाद सोशल मीडिया पर एक वीडियो वायरल हो रहा है जिसमें पाकिस्तानी फैन टीवी पर चाकू मार कर टीवी को फोड़ते हुए नजर आ रहा है।
The last shortest match was played on June 16, 2019, when both teams played just 90 overs at Old Trafford in Manchester. It was a rain-induced match and the DLS par score came into being.
The longest match was held during the 2011 ODI World Cup semifinals at the PCA stadium in Mohali, as the match went for 99.5 overs. The MS Dhoni-led side won the match by 29 runs qualified for the summit clash and defeated Sri Lanka.
