India has won bragging rights over Pakistan after beating its arch-rival on the cricket field and advancing to the World Cup final match against Sri Lanka set for Saturday.
Life for more than a billion people across India and Pakistan came to a standstill during the semifinal match Wednesday. India beat Pakistan by 29 runs, 260 to 231.
Tickets for the semifinal match had been sold out for days, and most businesses and offices in both countries were closed during the play.
Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and his Pakistani counterpart, Yousuf Raza Gilani, showed a rare unified front, as they watched most of the match together from a private box at the stadium in the northern Indian city of Mohali. The show of friendly competition follows two days of peace talks between the two countries.
