Virat Kohli’s 60 off 44 balls in the end from Fakhar Zaman took India to 181/7. Pakistan was firmly on the back foot for much of the first half of their chase, with India dismissing captain Babar Azam and Fakhar before they could do too much
damage. However, Mohammad Nawaz and Mohammad Rizwan changed the course of the game with a 73-run partnership in just 41 balls. Pakistan still need two runs to win. Pakistan then ran hard and took two runs off the next ball to win the match by five wickets.
