A terrific batting performance from Pakistan and they have posted a huge total on the board. They were determined from the very beginning and an efficient start from their openers laid the perfect platform for them. Azhar Ali and Fakhar Zaman stitched in a vital 128-run stand where the latter went to score his maiden ODI hundred after getting a reprieve just when he was on 3. The former was dismissed courtesy of a run out but nothing went India's way even after that.
Babar Azam also stepped up and made a useful contribution but it was the promotion of Imad Wasim which made the difference. He, along with Mohammad Hafeez went ablaze in the end and helped them cross the 330-run mark. Hafeez also went onto score a quickfire 50. The Men in Green will be really happy with their batting performance as they all stepped up in the game which matters the most.
India, on the other hand, had a day to forget with the ball. None of the bowlers except Bhuvneshwar Kumar were effective and he ended with respectable figures of 10-2-44-1. The spin duo of Ashwin and Jadeja went for plenty and they will be really disappointed. The Men in Blue will have to put their act together and put in a solid performance and a really good start is the need of the hour for them. Can the defending champions defend their title or will we have new winners this time around? Join
