140 by Rohit is the second highest individual score against Pakistan in World Cups after the unbeaten 143 by Andrew Symonds in Johannesburg in 2003. He is the third player to reach three-figures in India-Pakistan World Cup clashes after Saeed Anwar (101) in Centurion in 2003 and Kohli (107) in Adelaide in 2015.
2 100-plus opening partnerships against Pakistan in their last two World Cup games - 146 by David Warner and Aaron Finch in Taunton on Wednesday and 136 by Rohit and KL Rahul in this game.

336/5 by India is the highest by any team against Pakistan in the history of World Cups, surpassing 334/9 by England in Nottingham earlier in the tournament. Pakistan have conceded 300-plus in eight of the last nine ODIs they bowled while in the other match they were dismissed for 105 and West Indies chased it down in 13.4 overs.
