As the most anticipated match of the World Cup tournament began between arch-rivals Pakistan and India at the Adelaide Oval today, people took to Twitter hours before the match started till it ended disappointingly in favour of India.
We take a closer look at the chain of reactions and the drastic changes in emotions -- from celebrations and hope to disappointment and despair.
Only reason to wake up early on a Sunday #PAKvIND

The third umpire in #CWC15 is about as reliable as chucking ten bucks on red.

Given Misbah's age, his last man standing innings is like Rocky Balboas' last fight. He wins their respect but he loses the fight #PaKvsInd

Misbah's innings is like the state of minorities. No real reason to hope but you still do.
