Pakistan Today mixed no emotions and reported the India-Pakistan match like any other game, even though it called it a “disappointingly one-sided encounter”. “India outclassed Pakistan in all areas of the game as they defeated the green shirts.” Seven wickets at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, improving their ICC Men’s World Cup record against their arch-rivals to 8-0,” it said it.

The News International quoted Pakistan captain Babar Azam as saying that the national team was “not up to par” in the “lopsided World Cup defeat.” “At the post-match ceremony, he acknowledged the team’s failure in both batting and batting also bowled and admitted that the target of 191 runs was below average,” he wrote.
