In instant World Cup classic, India beat Pakistan by 4 wickets
In what was an instant World Cup classic that had its heroes, its villains, last-over drama and everything in between, India somehow managed to beat Pakistan by four wickets at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday.
The biggest of the heroes undoubtedly was Virat Kohli, who scored an unbeaten 82 off 53 that included a six in the final over when 16 were needed.
Kohli, along with Hardik Pandya, helped their team recover from 31 for four to somehow drag it over the line.
The climax of the match was the final over, which was given to left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz on a night where spin was a liability for both the sides.
Asked to defend 15 runs, Nawaz got a wicket off the first ball, and avoided a boundary off the next two deliveries as well before bowling a no-ball that was smacked for a six by Kohli. He got another wicket late in the over but that proved insufficient as Kohli had done the job by then.
Earlier, Pakistan posted a decent recovery after an almost nightmare start that saw both their star openers perish early. Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood’s half-centuries helped the Green Shirts post 159-8 runs.
After inviting Pakistan to bat first, Indian seamers found plenty of bounce and movement, just as they had in their first encounter during the recent Asia Cup.
Babar Azam was out on golden duck and Mohammad Rizwan followed him back in the dugout soon after. Shan Masood played the anchor and hung around till the end but the real star was the much-criticised Iftikhar Ahmed, whose 34-ball 51 at one point threatened to unclench India’s grip on the innings.
However, once he fell, the leakage of wickets resumed, with no one sticking with Masood for long enough. The one-down lefty finished with 52 runs off 42 balls. A 16-run cameo at the very end by Shaheen Afridi was invaluable in boosting the score.

Another quiet over. Just 3 off it. This is what wickets do. Credit to Shadab too for holding a tight line and not offering anything to Kohli and Pandya.

Nawaz bowls his first over. In theory, India should have been attacking spin but they show restraint due to the fall of wickets. Just 5 single off it.

Shadab’s introduction was supposed to offer India a breather but a running mix up sees them lose another wicket. Axar Patel is the man who walks. Pakistan were lucky as they got the run out despite Rizwan not collecting the ball cleanly.
33-4 after 7 overs: Shadab to Hardik, no run
33-4 after 6.5 overs: Shadab to Kohli, 1 run
32-4 after 6.4 overs: Shadab to Kohli, no run

Virat Kohli 5 (9), Axar Patel 2 (2)
Haris Rauf is known for two things: he can be expensive but he can also pick wickets. You hit him at your own risk is the lesson. And that’s something Suryakumar Yadav didn’t know. He slaps the Pindi-born pacer for a boundary and is then dismissed the very next ball. Pakistan on top right now.
31-3 after 6 overs: Haris to Kohli, 2 runs
29-3 after 5.5 overs: Haris to Axar Patel, 1 leg bye

Haris Rauf does what Haris Rauf does best: he picks up a wicket in his very first over and it’s a big one. Sharma nicks on into the slips where Iftikhar collects a brilliant catch.
17-2 after 4 overs: Haris to Kohli, no run

Just as he had done in in these two teams’ Asia Cup clash, Naseem bowls out KL Rahul to give Pakistan a massive boost.

0-0 after 0.1 over: Shaheen to Rahul, 0 run
0-0 after 0 over: Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul are at the crease for India, while Shaheen Afridi has the ball in his hands for Pakistan.

Iftikhar, who was looking menacing and had hit three sixes in the previous over, perishes as Mohammad Shami traps him leg before wicket. Much criticised in the build up to the World Cup, Iftikhar justifies his selection with a tremendous 6-laden half century.

Massive blow for Pakistan as Arshdeep Singh traps Babar Azam on the first ball. Shan Masood survives rest of the over dangerously. He was so eager to get off the strike that he nearly got run out. A much-needed boundary off the final ball relieves some pressure.
