Indian off-spinner Ravichandran Ashwin bowled 3 maidens in the match today. How unreal is that? The last time that happened in a World Cup match was Srinivas Venkataraghavan in 1979.

India has won the toss in five of the six WC matches against Pakistan. Pakistan won the 2003 toss and chose to bat first. They still lost that year.
