IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022 highlights: Kohli plays special knock in memorable win for India, check final scorecard

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Haris Rauf to Kohli, SIX, goodness gracious! Can there be a greater shot under pressure? That was a slower ball, Kohli backs away and slams that down the ground for a sixer. This man is unreal

IND 144/4 (19)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Shaheen Afridi to Kohli, FOUR, short ball, down on to his hips, Kohli pivots on the back foot and pulls it over short fine for a four. That wasn't a bad ball and was put away. India still in this. They needed a big over and they have got one

IND 129/4 (18)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Naseem Shah to Hardik Pandya, 2 runs, 48 off the last three overs looks too stiff. Short ball, outside off, Hardik Pandya pulls that down to deep mid and they get a brace

IND 112/4 (17)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Haris Rauf to Hardik Pandya, 1 run, back of a length delivery, slower, Hardik Pandya turns that away on to the on-side and fails to get the second. Only 6 off the over. India need 54 runs off the last 4 overs

IND 106/4 (16)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Naseem Shah to Kohli, FOUR, make it 8 off the over. India trying hard to stay in touch with the rate required. That was a fuller ball, Kohli clips that past short fine after dancing down the track. Good innovation from Kohli

IND 100/4 (15)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Shadab Khan to Kohli, no run, excellent over from Shadab Khan despite conceeding a four off the first ball. Kohli pushes it out into the off-side and looks for a single only to be sent back

IND 90/4 (14)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Shaheen Afridi to Kohli, FOUR, just used the angle and the pace of the bowler. Was a back of a length delivery, Kohli glanced it past the man at short fine. Deft touch from Kohli

IND 83/4 (13)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Mohammad Nawaz to Hardik Pandya, SIX, 20 off the over! It cancels out the Axar Patel from India's innings who had gone for 21 and if I ain't mistaken that was also the 12th over. That was a flatter one, Hardik Pandya went for the swipe and slammed it over long-on. 86 needed now

IND 74/4 (12)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

India have a hapless situation now. They are well behind the 8-ball. 115 is doable but Pakistan bowlers have barely given anything away. Kohli seems to be set but can he push for a quick big score now.

Shaheen Afridi to Kohli, no run, good length delivery that nips back in sharply, goes past the inside edge and strikes Kohli on the back thigh. Highly optimistic appeal from Afridi. It's clearly missing leg and is too high as well

IND 5/0 (1)

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Live score updates

Shaheen Afridi to Rahul, no run, oh almost a return catch first ball! It's what you expect from Afridi. An inswinger straightaway on middle. It's a low full toss, and Rahul is early into it as it pops up off the toe-end. Doesn't carry to Afridi

STAT: The last time India failed to successfully chase down a target under 170 in a complete 20-over T20I was against New Zealand in Nagpur in WT20 2016.

Here's what Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam had to say after toss:

Babar Azam: Toss is not in our hands. We'll try to post around 160-170. We have prepared well, and we are ready for this big game. We won a series back home, we played a tri-series in New Zealand, so we are prepared. We have three fast bowlers and two spinners.

Rohit Sharma: We are going to field first. Looks like a good pitch, it's always nice with overcast conditions. Think the ball will swing around a bit. Preparations have been good. We played a couple of practice games in Brisbane. Time to come out and enjoy ourselves. We were expecting nothing less than this, hopefully we'll entertain them. We have seven batters, three seamers and two spinners.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: Toss time!

Rohit wins the toss, chooses to bowl first.
