India were successful in keeping their record against Pakistan in the World Cup intact as Virat Kohli's half century helped his side beat their arch rivals by six wickets in the ICC T20 World Cup 2016 at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 19 March.

Kohli's impressive knock of 55 runs off 37 balls, who was well accompanied by Yuvraj Singh saw India reach the total comfortably with over two overs to spare. Pakistan managed 118 runs off 18 overs as the match was reduced by two overs due to bad weather.

India lost their openers and even Suresh Raina very early, which then allowed Kohli and Singh to stabilise the innings. IBTimes UK has complied some Twitter reactions after India's victory over Pakistan in their Group 2 fixture.
