| 0.3 : 0.3: Shaheen Afridi to Rohit Sharma, SIX! WOW! It does not take long for Rohit Sharma to get going! The Indian skipper picked the bones out of that. Shaheen bowls it around middle and leg, on a length, Rohit Sharma picks up the line and length early and plays the pick-up shot to perfection. Clears deep square leg for a biggie. |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Naseem Shah to Virat Kohli, FOUR! Class written all over it and Virat Kohli is away! Naseem gets a good away shape on this one, full and outside off, Virat Kohli stays balanced in the crease and extends his hands to cream the drive through covers. Despite the damp outfield, the ball has enough legs to reacht the fence. |
| 1.3 : 1.3: Naseem Shah to Virat Kohli, OUT! TAKEN! Straight to the fielder and it is Naseem Shah with the first strike for Pakistan. Not the best of deliveries from Naseem but he still manages to get a wicket off it. Naseem offers width and it is too short as well, Virat Kohli reaches out as he looks to slap it over covers. The ball stops in the surface a bit and Kohli has to reach out to get the connection. Ends up getting this one off the toe-end of the bat and it goes straight to cover-point wher |
| 1.5 : 1.5: Naseem Shah to Rohit Sharma, FOUR! Too straight and these are easy pickings for Rohit Sharma. |
| 2.4 : 2.4: Shaheen Afridi to Rohit Sharma, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! The Eagle has landed in New York. India have been rocked early with both back openers in the hut. |
| 4.1 : 4.1: Shaheen Afridi to Axar Patel, FOUR! Streaky but they all count! Afridi bowls it in the corridor of off, on a short of a good length, Axar Patel pushes at the delivery away from his body. He is late on the shot and the ball races off the toe-end of the bat to the right of deep third for a boundary. |
| 4.2 : 4.2: Shaheen Afridi to Axar Patel, SIX! More in control and Axar Patel gets the maximum reward! |
| 5.1 : 5.1: Mohammad Amir to Rishabh Pant, EDGED AND FOUR! |
| 5.5 : 5.5: Mohammad Amir to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Rishabh Pant going for broke here and he has picked up 11 vital runs off miscued shots. Full again and around off stump, Pant is late on the flick again and cue-ends it well over Iftikhar Ahmed's head this time at first slip for another boundary. Mohammad Amir is highly frustrated with that. |
| 6.6 : 6.6: Iftikhar Ahmed to Axar Patel, FOUR! Now, that is a lovely shot! Tossed up at the stumps, Axar Patel skips down the pitch, holds his shape really well and just lifts it back over the bowler's head for a boundary. |
| 7.4 : 7.4: Naseem Shah to Axar Patel, OUT! TIMBER! Axar Patel looked to be aggressive there but gets cleaned up instead. Just as the on-air commentators said that this was the highest score by an Indian batter at number 4 against Pakistan in a T20 World Cup clash, Axar walks back. |
| 7.6 : 7.6: Naseem Shah to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Suryakumar Yadav is up and running! |
| 9.2 : 9.2: Haris Rauf to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Slower ball, Rishabh Pant picks it up and gets it away to the fence. |
| 9.3 : 9.3: Haris Rauf to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! That is classic Pant, no idea how he played that shot but he gets the boundary again. |
| 9.4 : 9.4: Haris Rauf to Rishabh Pant, Four! |
| 10.4: Imad Wasim to Rishabh Pant, FOUR! Executed to perfection! |
| 11.2 : 11.2: Haris Rauf to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! CAUGHT! Haris Rauf strikes back after an expensive first over. He is pumped up as is Mohammad Amir who bangs the ball into the turf. |
| 13.2: Naseem Shah to Shivam Dube, OUT! CAUGHT AND BOWLED! A soft dismissal and the bowling change has done the trick for Pakistan. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Mohammad Amir to Rishabh Pant, OUT! TAKEN! A massive blow to India as the well-set Rishabh Pant departs. Pakistan have pulled things back and how since the halfway mark. Amir gets the first wicket of the game and it is the big one of Pant. |
| 14.2 : 14.2: Mohammad Amir to Ravindra Jadeja, OUT! STRAIGHT TO THE FIELDER! Two in two for Mohammad Amir and Pakistan are all over India like a rash! |
| 16.1 : 16.1: Mohammad Amir to Arshdeep Singh, FOUR! Stand and dleiver from Arshdeep Singh. This is banged in halfway down the pitch, no real intent on that one. Singh picks it up and lifts it high in front of the mid-wicket region. The ball pitches and trickles into the fence. |
| 17.1: Haris Rauf to Hardik Pandya, FOUR! Nicely done in the end by Hardik Pandya. Banged in quick and short outside the off stump, Pandya backs away a bit and slashes at it. The ball goes off the outer half of the bat and fine of third man. Naseem Shah runs across to his left but cannot get there and it will be a boundary. |
| 17.4 : 17.4: Haris Rauf to Hardik Pandya, OUT! CAUGHT! In the air and taken! |
| 17.5 : 17.5: Haris Rauf to Jasprit Bumrah, OUT! CAUGHT! Straight to the man and India are going down in a hurry here. Haris Rauf goes for the quick and full ball, gets it in at around 150 clicks and just outside the off stump. Jasprit Bumrah just leans right ahead and drives it straight into the hands of Imad Wasim at short cover who takes a sharpo catch and Pakistan are just a wicket away from bundling India out. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Shaheen Afridi to Mohammed Siraj, OUT! RUN OUT! Uh, oh! Complete miscommunication there between Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh and finally, Pakistan are able to close out the innings. This is pitched up by Shaheen around off, Siraj clears the back leg and thumps it just on the bounce to Babar Azam at mid off. Babar does well to get behind it and Siraj is off for a single. Arshdeep Singh doesn't have much of a clue and has to just go for it in the end. Babr throws it at the right en |
| 1.1 : 1.1: Mohammed Siraj to Babar Azam, FOUR! That had class written all over it. Starts off with a fullish delivery, on off stump and just seaming away a touch. Babar Azam gets on the front foot and plays a lovely on-drive with a straight bat, getting it to the left of the man at mid on for a boundary. |
| 4.3 : 4.3: Jasprit Bumrah to Babar Azam, FOUR! Top shot from Babar Azam. Jasprit Bumrah drops the length short and bowls it around off, Babar is quick to pick up the length and climbs into the pull, hammering it in front of mid-wicket for a boundary. |
| 4.4 : 4.4: Jasprit Bumrah to Babar Azam, OUT! CAUGHT! A ripper of a catch from Suryakumar Yadav and he is absolutely thrilled with that take. |
| 5.3 : 5.3: Hardik Pandya to Mohammad Rizwan, Six! |
| 8.3: Hardik Pandya to Usman Khan, FOUR! Hit with authority and this should help Usman Khan feel a lot better. |
| 9.6 : 9.6: Ravindra Jadeja to Mohammad Rizwan, FOUR! Lovely shot! |
| 10.1 : 10.1: Axar Patel to Usman Khan, OUT! LBW! Excellent review! Bowls it with a high-arm action and slides it well into the batter from around off stump. This one drifts in late and Usman Khan is caught on the back foot getting hit on the pads as well. There is a big appeal for LBW but the umpire turns it down and eventually, Rohit Sharma does take the review. There's no bat involved as confirmed by UlotraEdge but Ball Tracking comes up with three reds and Axar Patel breaks the stand on his very |
| 10.4 : 10.4: Axar Patel to Fakhar Zaman, SIX! Fakhar Zaman just about manages to keep his shape and he has nailed it over the fence. Flighted ball around off stump, Fakhar skips down the pitch, almost gets beaten in flight but manages to whip it straight back over the bowler's head with immense power for a biggie. |
| 11.1 : 11.1: Arshdeep Singh to Fakhar Zaman, FOUR! Poor line from Arshdeep Singh and Fakhar Zaman deals with it effectively. Too full and just angling down leg, Fakhar picks it up and flicks it down to fine leg for a boundary. |
| 12.2 : 12.2: Hardik Pandya to Fakhar Zaman, OUT! CAUGHT! What a take from Rishabh Pant! |
| 13.2: Arshdeep Singh to Imad Wasim, EDGED AND FOUR! A handy boundary for Imad Wasim and Pakistan. |
| 14.1 : 14.1: Jasprit Bumrah to Mohammad Rizwan, OUT! BOWLED'EM! That's Jasprit Bumrah for you, never ever misses out on the big occasion and India are back in the game. |
| 16.3 : 16.3: Hardik Pandya to Shadab Khan, OUT! GONE! Hardik Pandya strikes again! Another well-directed bumper from the Indian all-rounder and he gets the reward. |
| 18.6 : 18.6: Jasprit Bumrah to Iftikhar Ahmed, OUT! c Arshdeep Singh b Jasprit Bumrah. |
| 19.1 : 19.1: Arshdeep Singh to Imad Wasim, OUT! EDGED AND GONE! Expertly held by Rishabh Pant and India could not have asked for a better start to the final over. |
| 19.4 : 19.4: Arshdeep Singh to Naseem Shah, FOUR! Innovative and effective! Keeps Pakistan in the game does Naseem. |
| 19.5 : 19.5: Arshdeep Singh to Naseem Shah, FOUR! A boundary but it will not be enough for Pakistan. That should do it for India and now, Arshdeep Singh needs to ensure that he does not concede any extras here. |
