Bhuvneshwar Kumar picks up the first wicket for #TeamIndia as Babar Azam departs for 10 runs.
Hardik Pandya produced a match-winning performance, taking three wickets and remaining unbeaten on 33 off just 17 deliveries to take India to a five-wicket win against Pakistan in Asia Cup 2022
Well played, Ravindra Jadeja. He scored 35 runs from 29 balls including 2 sixes and 2 fours in typical run chase against Pakistan in Asia Cup.
As Hardik finished the match with a six off left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz, he again showed why he becomes an indispensable part of the team when he is bowling at full tilt
This set of Indian bowlers—Avesh Khan and Arshdeep Singh alongside Bhuvneshwar and Pandya—have played bulk of their cricket since the pandemic here in UAE.
Spinners Yuzvendra Chahal and Ravindra Jadeja too bowled restrictive lengths keeping the straight boundaries out of play as much as possible.
11 Shahnwaz Dahani, who smacked 16 off six balls before Arshdeep decided to hit the block hole and hit his timber.
Mohammad Rizwan is a game changer and is one of the reason behind success of Babar Azam.
India 148 in 19.4 overs (Hardik Pandya 33 no off 17 balls, Ravindra Jadeja 35 off 29 balls).
Pakistan: 147 all out in 19.5 overs (Mohammed Rizwan 43, Hardik Pandya 3/25, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 4/26).
