00:01Yes, the toss happened a little while earlier. It was Pakistan who won the toss, decided to bat first.
00:08And Dubai International Stadium had seen many contests between India and Pakistan, often very close ones.
00:16Here's Shami. The Mahmoud Hakkhan strike.
00:27Oh, lovely shot. That's quality. First boundary for Barbara Azam. Just a flick of the wrist.
00:38Wow. Now that's quality.
00:45He'll find the gap. Was served up outside the off stump. It's an area he'd be happy with. Barbara is
00:51looking good here for Pakistan.
00:56Over long on.
01:01Finds a gap again. Just wonder whether it was pushed through slightly slower.
01:07Oh, the edge.
01:10Harthik Pandya produces the breakthrough. It's a huge moment in the game.
01:17Went into the drive. The ball's left him. It's taken the edge and Pakistan have lost one.
01:24That favourite cover drive.
01:27Still shape, but just the length drag back. So, reaction off the surface.
01:31And the edge found. Huge wicket.
01:36Massive loss for Pakistan. And Harthik celebrates.
01:41Wasn't happy with the last ball. Well, he's well happy now.
01:46Barbara threatened, but he's out for 23. Pakistan 41 for 1.
01:54But trouble. Directed.
01:57He was slow getting off the mark. It was Imamul Haq.
02:02Akshar Patel with the throw.
02:05And I think the replay will show that India have got another.
02:12That was a very poor run. It went straight to mid on Akshar Patel. The left-hander bang on target.
02:17Imamul Haq.
02:19You heard Harsha speaking about how he needs to get a move on.
02:22Must have played at the back of his mind.
02:24And wasn't even close to the crease at that point.
02:27Proudon plays up for Karzaman. Goes for 10. Pakistan 47 for 2.
02:35High it straight away.
02:3850 comes up in some style.
02:47That should reach the boundary.
02:57Directed.
02:59I think he might be in though, because...
03:01Yeah, next from.
03:02Puldeep looked a little bit interested.
03:03Not out. Not out. Not out.
03:07Brilliant.
03:14It's almost like Yaza first boundary.
03:18Bruce Wan has played the sweep a lot today, but today...
03:23Beats the fielder inside the circle.
03:25That'll go for 4.
03:26So we're starting to see signs now of Pakistan breaking the shackles.
03:34Gets the boundary to finish the over.
03:36And that'll lift their spirits in the change room.
03:388 from it.
03:43Now the boundary is starting to come.
03:45Dug it in short.
03:47A couple of sweep shots have forced the ballers to...
03:49Look at their length again.
03:57Big appeal. It was a full delivery.
03:59Went for a reverse lap.
04:03Nice from Sal Shaquille.
04:05It's the second time he's played a shot.
04:08As skillfully as that.
04:10And it takes him to 48.
04:17And that very important 4th half century in Wanda Internationals for Sal Shaquille.
04:23He's consolidated the innings reasonably well.
04:27And he'll be hoping to kick on for something much more significant.
04:30In this extremely important game.
04:34For Pakistan.
04:37It's gone high.
04:39Very high indeed.
04:41Hashatrana trucking.
04:43Can't hold on.
04:44Difficult chance.
04:47Moved a bit away from him.
04:49Oh, he's gone.
04:51Not a great shot.
04:52Very full delivery.
04:53A full delivery.
04:54He yoked himself Rezan.
04:55And India got the breakthrough they wanted.
04:59And to a great extent it's the field placing.
05:02That got that shot going.
05:05Seeing those empty gaps.
05:07Went for that big hit.
05:10Played right across the line.
05:11You can see that.
05:12Played right across the line.
05:13And was old medal star.
05:16So Roy Sharma deserves credit.
05:18Akshar Patel deserves credit.
05:20For the field placing that they had.
05:22Which prompted that shot.
05:24Big partnership broken.
05:26Viswan 46 of 77.
05:28Three down 151.
05:29In the 34th.
05:33Pull shot beautifully played.
05:35It'll find the fence.
05:35Yes.
05:36That's good batting by South Shakil.
05:41Pull shot.
05:42That's gone up in the air.
05:43This should be taken.
05:44Held this time.
05:47Akshar Patel.
05:50The hard to get cleverly pushed.
05:51Deep square leg.
05:52Miner.
05:53Give him the opportunity to go in front.
05:55And that's what.
05:58South Shakil tried to do.
05:59But Akshar Patel quick enough to get to the ball.
06:01The way it's going.
06:02I think it's got to be an uphill effort.
06:04From the next batters to come through.
06:05For the moment.
06:06South.
06:06South Shakil goes for 62.
06:08Pakistan.
06:09159.
06:09Pull pull.
06:10Little bit of tempo.
06:11Running.
06:13Oh.
06:14Bold him I think.
06:15He's got good off.
06:16Dayat Thayer.
06:17With a beauty.
06:18Absolute Jaffa.
06:20Enough spin to hit that off stop.
06:23Zingers lit up.
06:24And the fans are once again.
06:27Loving it in the eyes.
06:29Hasn't got the going easy today.
06:31But Tayet Thayer.
06:32What a lovely delivery.
06:33Hit the same turns of it.
06:34Playing inside the line.
06:37Jadija will do this day in and day out.
06:39He's landed the same spot.
06:41And he had it to turn just enough.
06:42To beat the bat.
06:43India Cockerhoop.
06:44And so are the fans.
06:46There's plenty to cheer about.
06:48Pakistan in a spot of bother.
06:49Tayet Thayer goes for 4.
06:51165 for 5.
06:543.
06:58That's an unusual angle created.
07:00But that may just travel to the fence.
07:03Not to be India very athletic in the field.
07:08Missing the stumps I think.
07:09Going down the leg side.
07:12Original decision is not out.
07:15Pitching outside.
07:16Off.
07:16Impacted line.
07:17And it's umpire's calling.
07:18Hit the rickets Richard.
07:20So stay with your original decision.
07:22Matt out.
07:22Stand by.
07:25On screen.
07:26It didn't disappear that close.
07:27I must say when we were seeing it live.
07:29That umpire's call.
07:31He did that.
07:33Up in the air.
07:35That's gone.
07:35Has it gone?
07:36It's gone a long way for the first six of the innings.
07:39It's Hushnil Shah who got it.
07:41Smack in the area where he likes to talk the ball over mid-wicket and squailing.
07:48That's up in the air.
07:51That's up in the air.
07:52Oh taken.
07:53Just for a moment you thought he would have made a mess of it.
07:56But it's Jadeja.
08:00Oh Salman Aga.
08:03Yeah the foam player.
08:05He wanted to go mid-wicket.
08:06Close the fat face.
08:07Too quickly.
08:10Jadeja just circled around it.
08:12He's never gonna drop that.
08:14But what a wicket for Gul Deeb.
08:17India keep hitting wickets at the right time.
08:20Salman Ali Aga out for 90.
08:22200 for six.
08:26Oh that's close.
08:28The finger's gone.
08:30He reviews straight away.
08:31Has he got some bad on it?
08:38Pitching outside off.
08:39Didn't have the line.
08:40And hitting the wickets.
08:42Switched it.
08:43But one of a screen stand by.
08:48Screen signal now.
08:50What a review.
08:52The centre.
08:53He's missed it.
08:53And it's in the wicket.
08:53of center two and two and Kuldeep Yadav on a hat-trick
08:57Shain Afridi goes without scoring Pakistan now suddenly 200 for seven this
09:04time it's Nassim Shah
09:07he plays it out nicely
09:12well that's gone away fine and we'll reach the boundary
09:22chipped in the air and a straight forward catch
09:31and it's Kuldeep again round the wicket it is the wrong one so it's just stuck in the surface
09:38Nassim Shah hasn't picked it just chips it up
09:41well he's never going to drop that he's so quick to the ball gives himself
09:46every opportunity for the catch because it comes underneath the ball so quick
09:52Nassim Shah goes for 14 Pakistan 2-2-2 for eight
10:00swings in the gap all the rope much needed six good start to the over
10:12swings it's gone a long way it's into the crowd short ball
10:28swings up oh they're running two
10:32has to hurry the bales are off he'll be short of his ground
10:39it's a very good throw as well very flat very accurate which left
10:49nothing to chance with regards to breaking the stumps
10:55Rob goes for eight two four one for nine
11:01oh it gets all of this it's in the air but it's not gone the distance taken in the deep
11:08and full match for Shadrana this is excellent bowling
11:12four slower deliveries on the truck rewarded with the last one
11:17and you need that to go in the areas that he bowls in the power play
11:23at the end of the innings to control the length of the slower ball i think is also very important
11:29good safe hands of Virat Kohli
11:32yes Kushdil played his part there 38 from 39
11:36and that's the fifth time fifth consecutive match in which India has bowled out the opposition
11:41inside the 50 overs so at the break it's Pakistan who won the toss decided to bat first bowled out
11:48for 241 innings revolving around south he made 62 from 76 Rizwan 46 from 77 that was a good partnership
11:59then
12:00a flurry of wickets and then Kushdil towards the end holding the innings together taking Pakistan
12:06so when India come out to bat they've got their full 50 overs to bat and they need 242 runs
12:12to win
12:13first ball Shaheen Shah Freedy
12:15Rohit Sharma
12:18a little bit of swing coming out back in lens good
12:23well there's the answer for you it's gone about 180 degrees in the other direction but it's still
12:29going to the boundary that's his game that's why he's not the best in the world
12:33he thought okay the plan B is to attack
12:38now this is vintage Roy Sharma the pickup shot through the onside
12:45and it goes a long long way it's a glorious shot
12:51oh well
12:54once again the ball reaches the boundary
12:57but a part of the boundary but a part of the boundary that was it was not meant to go
13:00to
13:03pierces the gap for four just maybe no more than three four inches fuller than you would have
13:09like to
13:12the infield this is a breathtaking approach from Roy Sharma
13:21the slow ball interesting Roy Sharma is getting ready for the pull shot it never arrived it's 26 for the
13:27loss
13:28in my book
13:31all he has to do is clear the infield and he's doing that in some style at the moment
13:35it'll take it's time it'll just get there slowly but it gets there eventually for four
13:43the ball that is done he's produced so often in the past the one that swings in a little bit
13:50full length
13:50Pakistan have the wicket they want brilliant come back by Shaheen Shafiri he missed it completely
13:56let's have a look maybe the lane swing that's it miss it middle some gone first
14:02make it to Pakistan confidence is back they've got the main man
14:12not to be today 20 or 15 is 31 for one
14:20the shot arm pull that is such a feature of Shipman Gill the shot all his own and the shot
14:26that comes
14:27off so often
14:31and that is the best of them all there is no more regal shot than the straight drive straight back
14:38past
14:39the swim bowler
14:44look when things are going your way you got a boundary with that one
14:53oh clarice there's uh something regal about this man when he's in full flow
15:02there's example of that
15:06down the ground that's a bang very hard looked as if he was tripping down the track as well
15:20it goes quick
15:23gets the signal
15:28that's at the air just short
15:36oh an opportunity put down
15:43that was it hard
15:46let's put this one down it went hard and straight to him
15:49is that a moment in the game
15:52the informed batter it's gone quickly to him but you need to take those
15:58at this level you cannot
16:01oh this time in the gap beautifully played for four
16:09takes him past 14 000 runs
16:14oh what a shot that is
16:24terrific terrific delivery
16:28he perhaps couldn't play it even if he knew beforehand it was coming that was special from abra some magic
16:36suggests that it was an unplayable ball this it spun
16:40like a top
16:42got it to grip turn and hit the stumps brilliant i think pakistan would be
16:48so well served with this breakthrough because they were going nowhere
16:56sherman gill
16:58played a lovely hand of 46 of 52 balls smooth as silk he was at the crease
17:03bold by abra a beauty hundred for two
17:09that's gone fine for four at least a bouncer was shot and no harm in doing that
17:14virad koly is such a special player that he'll put it away
17:17but at least he has to take a little bit of risk
17:21asimamla is the batting coach
17:24he'll clear the infield
17:26where dk talking a little while ago why he's become a much better player of the short ball
17:34in the gap boundary to ease the tension
17:39virad koly gets to 50.
17:42one of all the innings he's played in recent times this one resembles the vintage koly we've seen all
17:48the years the most
17:54and virad koly charges straight away putting pressure on shahin shafridi straight up front
18:01the strategy virad koly has believed in over the years when the lead goaler comes back put him under pressure
18:06early
18:11well the memo changed the memo changed and the reverse sweep came out
18:18now fine on the arm side there is no support there for the baller another boundary according to that
18:28gigantic
18:30the tremendous strike from shriya sire
18:39so nice really is in fine touch
18:44shriya
18:47what cricket do they have post the champions trophy another lovely push out from virad koly there
18:53well with every passing ball he seems to be gaining in confidence
19:00well played shriya continuing that rich vein of form is showing
19:05very happy ability to convert form into consistent runs
19:17well that that's not going to help because shriya has just
19:20the baller back over his head before
19:30right has he taken it well done my eyes were immediately going towards cover
19:37but it's a very good catch pakistan needed a little bit more of that but they've got one
19:44back away trying to get this over cover but that's a great catch imam ul haq diving away to his
19:53right
19:54holds on disbelief in the crowd but pakistan have a wicket and that too by good catching
20:03it's been a wonderful innings from shriya sire
20:0756 or 67
20:12wide hardik bandhya
20:21right there's a little edge as he looked to tickle it down very fine indeed
20:26bandhya walks shahina fridi throws up his hand in celebration india lose another they picked a couple
20:33of wickets
20:34and they are just trying to guide it down to fine leg little feather of a club
20:41this one takes the cat muted celebration because of the stage of the game
20:45hope's been expensive shahina fridi has been expensive
20:48right virat koly beaten in the sweep shot so ultra edge coming up now
20:56yeah freeze it there please freeze it okay we have a spike uh on ultra edge also paul is on
21:03the bat
21:04which is so stay with your original decision of not out stand by
21:09it's always interesting to see how stardom manifests itself as soon as the flicker came on the entire crowd
21:16has erupted
21:22straight up
21:25too far for anybody and they'll come back for two he wants it
21:33they'll take the single he's gonna hurry at the non-strikers in
21:35i think a directive might have had him in trouble but he gets there
21:39who's dale
21:42golly down he's found the gap the king has added another jewel to his ground

22:03half overs left

22:13be virat koly
22:15yes it had to be every time india play pakistan brings out the very very best
22:22in virat koly
