India beat two-time winner and defending champions Pakistan in the summit clash to be crowned champions of Blind Cricket World Cup (BCWC) on Sunday at Wally Wilson Cricket Ground in Cape Town. Pakistan who batted first, put up a mammoth total iy scoring 389 runs in 40 overs after losing seven wickets. Indian batsmen displayed superb skills and chased the total successfully to seal the match by five wickets against their arch-rivals. Earlier Pakistan had outplayed England by 8 wickets in the first semi-final played at YMCA Cricket Ground, Cape ToInterestingly. In the opening match of the tournament Pakistan had beaten India by seven wickets. So with Sunday's win India also took the revenge. It was the 4th edition of the Blind Cricket World Cup, which took place in South Africa.
