In Saturday's India vs Pakistan world cup cricket match, more than a few records were set. Here are a few such accomplishments as India defeated Pakistan by 76 runs.

This became the third time Pakistan gave up 300 or more runs in a World Cup match. In 2003, Australia put up 310/8 at Johannesburg. Recently, thanks to Ross Taylor, we saw a 302/7 at Pallekele.
