00:00Welcome to the Dubai International Stadium, the latest venue to host one of the biggest rivalries in the game.
00:09It's India versus Pakistan. It is a near sellout. It is the first game from Group 2 and it is going to be an absolute cracker.
00:20India have been outstanding. They've not lost to Pakistan in world events.
00:24Can Barbarazam and his men turn over Virat Kohli for the first time in a World Cup?
00:30We shall see in the next 40 overs or so.
00:34Toss was won by Barbarazam and he immediately said, we will have a bowl, maybe because of you, maybe it suits our game.
00:42Virat Kohli wasn't that fussed, to be honest.
00:45Full eyes were on those teams and in particular, I'd say the India team and how they balanced it.
00:50Hardik Pandya said on interview, he wouldn't be bowling today. He's not fit enough to bowl.
00:55So they have five front line bowlers and who will they turn to for a few fiddly overs?
01:00Will it be Kohli himself? They've gone Jadeja, they've gone Shami, Bumrah, Chakravarti plays.
01:07It is an outstanding bowling attack. It is an outstanding side.
01:10And Pakistan, there you go, the skipper, ranked number two in the world in this format.
01:18Barbarazam, Pakazaman, Hafiz and Malik, the veterans are in the middle order.
01:23Asif Imad, Shadab, Hassan, that's some depth to their batting.
01:27Shaheen Shah, Afridi, what a left-armer he is.
01:30And Ralph as well. So that looks a top, top side.
01:34A lot of good memories from that ICC event in 2017, Champions Trophy, remember?
01:43So we're ready. A slip is in place.
01:46It will be the very talented K.O. Rahul. He's in great nick. He's on strike.
01:54Same pitch as yesterday. West Indies were bowled out for 55.
01:593D with the first ball.
02:04A little bit of swing in.
02:07A power a hole. He just middles it straight to extra cover.
02:11And it's always a good feeling, isn't it?
02:13The first ball that he fazes, hits the middle of the bat.
02:15You might not get a run. It could be a dot ball.
02:17But just that feeling of the ball hitting the middle of the bat is so good.
02:2132 wickets and 31 matches for Shaheen Shah, Afridi.
02:25And Mohandas Menon can correct me, but I do believe that he's wearing the number that his would-be father-in-law used to, Shaheen Shah, Afridi.
02:3510.
02:36Again, on to the middle of the bat.
02:43Good fielding. Keep an eye on the fielding here. This is a big playing area.
02:47It's going to be important, as we saw yesterday, not just about boundaries.
02:52England were brilliant in the field. Dive around, save everything.
02:55It's so important.
02:58Fielding is always important, but particularly in this format of the game,
03:01every time there's a dot ball, you add pressure on the batsman.
03:05Excellent throw from the Pakistan captain.
03:20And they're away.
03:22Off the mark, India, and roll.
03:37Oh, gone, surely gone, yes!
03:39Absolutely plum.
03:41First blood, Pakistan.
03:43What a beauty, full and straight.
03:46This has been a weakness with Roy Chalma for a long, long time.
03:52The left-hander getting the ball to curve back into his bats.
03:56And he was palpably, palpably late on the shot.
04:02A full Yorker, an attempted Yorker.
04:05It just defeated him completely.
04:08So Roy Chalma's gone up.
04:10First ball for a duck.
04:12India have lost their first wicket for one.
04:14Absolutely fine on that front foot.
04:20Don't worry about that end.
04:22Worry about the other end.
04:23It was perfect.
04:25What a start from Pakistan.
04:27Chalma goes through a duck.
04:28It's one for one.
04:29There it is.
04:34He's stuck the batsman up.
04:35He's not allowed them to feed them to move their arms.
04:38He and Babur Asam will not mind giving away these singles.
04:42What they don't want to concede in the first six overs is too many boundaries.
04:45So these ones, they will not be too worried about, too fussed about.
04:49Very good.
04:53From the two left armors.
04:55Afridi and Imad Wazim.
04:57Six for one after two.
05:05Oh, out.
05:06What a beauty.
05:07He's on absolute fire.
05:10They cannot play him.
05:11Both openers are gone.
05:13And the Indian fans can just look on in disbelief.
05:17Just going to check for that no ball again.
05:20Again, absolutely fine.
05:22That is perfect.
05:24And again at the other end, perfect.
05:28Unplayable.
05:30Six for two.
05:31Rahul's gone for three.
05:34The swing.
05:35We've not seen that with the white ball for a long time.
05:38That's not going to swing.
05:40That's going to go to the man in the deep.
05:41He's out there.
05:42Over his head for six.
05:44India needed that.
05:46A flick of the wrist, and we have our first six of the evening.
05:53Sweat hard.
05:54No one's catching up with that.
05:56He means business, Suryakumar Yadav.
05:58He's already into double figures.
06:03Koli on the charge.
06:04Way down the pitch there, Koli.
06:06Watch his running.
06:07Does he want two?
06:07He does.
06:08He's very good at that.
06:13Very, very good at converting ones into twos.
06:16Where out Koli is.
06:19Gives himself room.
06:21Hands through the ball.
06:22Koli on the charge now.
06:24Six for him.
06:26That's his answer to those three-dot balls.
06:30He stayed in the crease.
06:31And made that into the length ball that batsmen are looking for, particularly in the death
06:37overs.
06:38That's the away movement.
06:42It's a big call, Bazit Khan.
06:44Struggles.
06:46Poor Suryakumar continue.
06:48But Hassan Ali's an outstanding performance.
06:50A good catch, too.
06:51Just that delivery seeming away slightly.
06:55Just straightening.
06:56But that is a fantastic catch.
07:00There's one.
07:00Watch it all the way.
07:02We've seen this so many times.
07:04We've seen this a lot of times as well.
07:07Celebrations.
07:08Pakistan.
07:09Cockahoo.
07:10And Thirad Koli does have that weakness against the moving ball.
07:15The one away.
07:16And he gets that away.
07:20All the way for four.
07:22Captain trying to take controls.
07:2436 for three.
07:26Just opening the face.
07:28Allowing for that little bit of movement away.
07:36You can have a review.
07:38Rizlan wants Baba to go for the review.
07:40He has no doubt.
07:41And they go upstairs.
07:48Okay.
07:48Passes close to the edge of the bat.
07:51Rock and roll that, please.
07:55Okay.
07:56Can we confirm with ultra-edge, please?
07:59Okay.
08:00We've got a flat line all the way through.
08:03We'll go back on field to Murray to stay with his original decision.
08:07You're on screen now, Murray.
08:08Often times, umpires get criticized.
08:13That was a top-class decision by Murray Rasmus.
08:16It might have just brushed the arm.
08:19A punt.
08:19Get any form.
08:22That's smashed to the offside.
08:24But that deep cover is pretty fine.
08:27Exactly for that shot.
08:29Harris Rowe does extremely well.
08:30Many of the modern seam bowlers, fast bowlers, are good athletes as well.
08:41Two runs saved.
08:42That will help push the total on for India.
08:51Fifth becomes a 52-for-3.
08:56But the bias of the field.
08:59That's a lovely shot.
09:00Truly is brilliant from Rishabh Pant.
09:04He's actually allowed the ball to come on to him almost behind him as he cut it away.
09:10He's made sure he used the box, but back.
09:14Look at where he's hit it.
09:15It's almost past him in terms of the ball, crossing him and then playing it.
09:21It's a fantastic cut shot.
09:28Find me a definition for that shot, Shane Watson.
09:33It's incredible to see that one-handed shot, but this was always a great matchup for Rishabh Pant.
09:39Hassan Ali coming around the wicket.
09:41The shortest side that Rishabh's hitting to on the leg side.
09:43Now he's got all of that as well.
09:46Rishabh Pant.
09:491-0, a square leg.
09:51Then the ball is pulled.
09:521 down the ground over Longoff.
09:54And he's saying, right, there's two of us playing this game.
10:03This is the ball that Shadhaf wanted the wrong one.
10:06Sitting underneath it, takes the catch.
10:10Just the right time.
10:11Rishabh Pant is looking very, very dangerous.
10:13Shadhaf Khan, the wrong one.
10:15He bowled it perfectly.
10:16Perfect length enticed Rishabh Pant into thinking that he could get that slog sweep out.
10:22And Shadhaf Khan, he's a brilliant field.
10:24He just saves the house and you can see how much it meant to him.
10:27He knew how big an over that was.
10:29For Pakistan to be able to just try and keep India under wraps.
10:36There's a feeler there.
10:37He will cut it off.
10:40It's well-fielded.
10:41Guess who it is?
10:42Shadhaf Malik.
10:43Yeah, Pakistan today have been incredible.
10:46They've been electric in the field.
10:49You can see how much it means to them.
10:50They've been chasing down every ball, putting their body on the line.
10:54Shadhaf Malik.
10:56He's got plenty more years to play.
11:00Oh, the spine into the pads.
11:02A thank you ball for Virat Kohli.
11:06Yeah, Virat Kohli just used the pace.
11:08It's just a little two-striker in the Harris route.
11:10And you can see there's a little fist bump there from Virat Kohli.
11:15Fine legs up, so it's brave to go short again.
11:18Oh, he might sit back and pull him away.
11:22Gives himself for him.
11:23He does pull him, and he does get it past.
11:25Fine leg who was up in the ring.
11:29And that's a well-placed shot as well.
11:31He didn't try to hit it too hard.
11:32He was only looking for the placement.
11:34Because there was a deep square leg.
11:36You don't want to hit it to the fielder.
11:37He wanted to hit it away from the fielder.
11:39That's exactly what the Indian captain has done.
11:42This is the slow bouncer.
11:43And look at the way he's controlled the shot.
11:45Bringing his wrists into play as well.
11:47Top-class batting.
11:52As he gets it through, he gets past extra cover.
11:54He gets it past mid-off.
11:56And he stops running.
11:58And that's why.
11:58Four more.
12:00Nobody in the game plays the extra cover drive better than Virat Kohli does.
12:05Gets into such a perfect position.
12:07With the head on top of the ball.
12:09With the foot as close to the ball as possible.
12:12And with a straight bat.
12:13Have a look at this.
12:14This is magnificent stuff.
12:15All the power hitters in the game.
12:22It's lovely to see the touch of Kohli there.
12:25Just lent on a cover drive.
12:29Innings dominated by Kohli and Pant.
12:31That should be an easy two with these two at the crease.
12:38Easy two.
12:39And that is 50 for Virat Kohli.
12:4329th in T20 cricket for India.
12:44And 10 in World Cups as well.
12:51Goes over the offside.
12:52Why would you scoop when you can hit it over extra cover for four?
12:57The Indian captain's on the charge.
12:58And that's the beauty of his batting.
13:01He plays to his strengths.
13:03He's not like you said.
13:04Somebody who scoops the ball up.
13:06Or ramps the ball up.
13:07Over the third man area.
13:10He will wait for this.
13:12This is his strength.
13:14And one bounce over the boundary.
13:16He does go hard.
13:23He picks it up over fine leg.
13:25Four more.
13:28Like I said, he's the baller that they've got to target.
13:30He's been the one who's leaked once today.
13:32He's got one wicket ahead of Sylvie Kamari.
13:34The other one is first over.
13:36But after that, he's been the one weakling in the Pakistan bowling.
13:46Slower ball up in the air.
13:51Long way up should be taken.
13:52Mid-wicket comes in.
13:53Gone.
13:54Beautifully bowled slower ball from Hassan Ali.
13:58He's struggled a bit this evening.
14:00But that's too far for him.
14:02What slower ball was it yet?
14:03Just an off-cutter.
14:05Wide as well.
14:07Lesson to any youngster out there.
14:09Bow your slower ball wide.
14:11Just so that the batter can't catch up with it.
14:16The day just gone.
14:17Pandia arrives.
14:18It's 1.25 for five.
14:24Well bowled.
14:25Well bowled.
14:26But that's the game.
14:27It's gone for four.
14:29Yes, too quick.
14:32It was over 1.45 kilometres per hour.
14:35The attempted joker.
14:40Short gone.
14:42Gone.
14:43He's in the game with the new ball.
14:44He's in the game with the old ball.
14:45And Freedie wins his battle with Virat Kohli.
14:50This one was one of the slower deliveries.
14:53And what an innings to Virat Kohli has played.
14:55He's gone.
14:57Yes, this is the slow bouncer.
14:58Looking to point it towards the shorter side of the boundary.
15:02But again, it's the slowness of the delivery
15:03that has deceived the Indian captain.
15:06And good catch again from Rizwan.
15:08He took a superb catch to get rid of Sulek Amariado.
15:12Now, he's got it off Virat Kohli.
15:16He's gone for 57.
15:17Six down, 1.33.
15:24That's hit hard.
15:25Behind square.
15:26That will go away for four.
15:28Much needed boundary for India.
15:30The Freedie's done.
15:31Three for 30.
15:321.38 for six.
15:34Third umpire's had a look.
15:45Yep.
15:46You're going to go again.
15:47And you're going to have a free hit.
15:52Doesn't cost.
15:53And they're trying to get through for a single.
15:55And he hurls it as well.
15:56It could be buzzers.
15:57It is buzzers.
15:59Absolute chaos.
16:00Why is he thrown that?
16:03Five buys.
16:05And all of India celebrate.
16:0817 from the 19th over.
16:10Chaos.
16:14And again, Pandya was waiting for it.
16:17They'll stroll back for two.
16:19Fielding's good.
16:20India will want Pandya to be basing every delivery in this over.
16:33Just four runs away from 150 total.
16:38It looked possible when Shahidaf, Shahidaf, Shahidaf with the got those early wickets of the openers.
16:46Change of bat.
16:47Three, one, two, three, one.
16:54Loovie, get your running shoes on.
16:57Get Pandya back on strike.
17:04Up in the air.
17:05A long way up in the air.
17:06There's two fielders.
17:07Go for it.
17:08And it's the skip up.
17:10Takes an easy catch in the end.
17:12Tremendous balling once again from Rauf.
17:20Pandya.
17:2111 of seven.
17:23146 for six.
17:25Another slow ball at the hand.
17:33Yep.
17:34Another cutter.
17:36Excellent.
17:38Deceiving Pandya.
17:39Toe end of the bat.
17:40Arba made it look very simple.
17:47It's gone for 11.
17:49146 for seven.
17:5011 of seven.
17:5011 of seven.
17:5111 of seven.
17:5211 of seven.
17:5211 of seven.
17:5311 of seven.
17:5411 of seven.
17:5411 of seven.
17:55All the Pakistan defended.
17:57When I say deal, deal.
17:59You say Pakistan.
18:00Deal, deal.
18:02Deal, deal.
18:02Deal, deal.
18:04Deal, deal.
18:06A much time in at nine.
18:08They must have crossed.
18:09That went a long way up.
18:12Well, we said 150 about three, four overs ago.
18:16And then one hit away from that.
18:18Three balls to go.
18:19He had a go at his long run for not stopping the two, will he stop it this time?
18:37No.
18:39We're going to have a look.
18:41I think he was safe.
18:44He turned a little bit slowly on Machami did.
18:50He looks as if he's confident that he's completed it.
18:53OK, we have a run-out review.
18:57TV umpire to director.
19:00OK, if I can have your best side on shot, please.
19:06OK, batters grounded, batters grounded.
19:10OK, we've got bat grounded.
19:13OK, we can go to the big screen.
19:25Clearly in, two balls to go.
19:32They're just going to keep getting those twos a long way out there.
19:36Can they get back this time? Yes, they can.
19:38A fumble.
19:39Hassan Ali, who had a go at the fielder out there, has now fumbled.
19:43And 1.50 does come up for India.
19:46They are still in this game.
19:47They are fighting hard.
19:49Bernard.
19:52And that's clever cricket.
19:53Because Burmesha Kumar knows that he's not a big hitter.
19:56And that is a long part of the boundary.
19:58So they're looking to push the ball into that 30-metre circle and get twos.
20:05Good thinking that.
20:07Last ball innings.
20:08Will he go for the big shot?
20:09Will he be happy just knocking it for two?
20:21Goes for the scoop.
20:23That could be a wide.
20:24We'll have a look.
20:25No, giving us a bye.
20:28He went a long way across his stumps.
20:31And that's why it wasn't widened.
20:33Really good comeback from India after a very slow start.
20:37But the game is set up perfectly.
20:40Two sides have gone hard at each other.
20:43Pakistan won the toss and decided to have a bowl.
20:46And this is what happened after that.
20:48A brilliant start from Afridi.
20:50A couple of early wickets from Rohit.
20:53First ball, Dakin Rahul.
20:55Bowled for three.
20:56Eleven for Surya Kumar Yadav.
20:58Thirteen for Jadeja.
21:00Eleven for Pandya.
21:01Thirty-nine for Pant.
21:03And a half century for the Indian captain, Virak.
21:07An opening partnership that has averaged over 50.
21:10The best ever for Pakistan.
21:11Kanbubi finds some swing.
21:13There was an absence of swing in the recent...
21:17IPL here.
21:20But we've seen in this...
21:22ICC T20 World Cup Men's Edition.
21:24There has been a bit of swing with the new ball.
21:31Little bit of swing there for Bhubaniswa Kumar.
21:35Slip in place.
21:36Upright seam ball.
21:46Just shaping away.
21:52And with the ball not really arriving.
21:54There's one actually going towards the delivery.
21:56So...
21:57That slip very much in place.
22:06Pakistan are off and running.
22:12I think it's Chakrabarti that did the chasing.
22:14The umpars may want to have a look at that.
22:17Oh...
22:19Interesting.
22:22You've got friends in high places.
22:25Has it...
22:26No, it's the right call.
22:28Took a while to get the right call.
22:32But all good.
22:33Good use of technology.
22:37Richard Illingworth, the third umpire.
22:39Lovely.
22:41Very busy player.
22:45Mohamed Rizwan.
22:49Area of strength for Rizwan.
22:52Square of the wicket.
22:53Leg side.
22:54Off side.
22:55Especially leg side.
22:56He's developed his pick-up shot.
22:58And the length is...
23:00Well, it is short, but not a lot wrong with it.
23:03He's just a good connection...
23:06Position...
23:07Of the batsman being very low.
23:09And that's why he gets that...
23:11Pied on the ball and...
23:12Goes all the way.
23:22Oh, glorious.
23:24It really is worth the price of admission...
23:26Or your time watching by technology.
23:30He does this every innings, every time...
23:31But you still...
23:33To stand up and take notice...
23:35Because...
23:36Of the class of the man.
23:38That is...
23:39Purity...
23:40At it's best.
23:52Yeah, full pitch on the leg...
23:53Stopped and it's turned away...
23:55Almost to the fence, but...
23:57Everything seems under control...
23:58Baba Razan...
23:59That one just...
24:01Placing it...
24:03And it's the...
24:05Start that Pakistan over there...
24:06Dreamed of...
24:07The pace...
24:08Into the pitch...
24:09The pace...
24:10Into the pitch...
24:12And you can almost...
24:13Back of a length...
24:14Rather than go full...
24:15This delivery as well...
24:16It's skidded off the surface...
24:17But look at the length...
24:18It's back of a length...
24:19Difficult to play those...
24:20Horizontal bat shots...
24:21Very good over...
24:22Just two of it...
24:2324 without loss...
24:25Yeah, the group lead...
24:26Back of the hands...
24:27Swins back in...
24:28Missing leg...
24:29But another dot ball...
24:30For the last two overs...
24:31Just come back...
24:32Four...
24:33Back of the hands...
24:34As well...
24:35It's skidded off the surface...
24:36But look at the length...
24:37It's back of a length...
24:38Difficult to play those...
24:39Horizontal bat shots...
24:40Very good over...
24:41Just two of it...
24:4224 without loss...
24:43Yeah, the group lead...
24:44Back of the hands...
24:45Swins back in...
24:46Missing leg...
24:47But another dot ball...
24:48For the last two overs...
24:49Just come back...
24:50Four...
24:51India...
24:52Lovely touch shot...
24:53It's almost as if...
24:54He wastes no energy...
24:55Or very little energy...
24:56In playing these shots...
24:57Silky smooth...
24:58Oh...
24:59It's almost as if...
25:00It's almost as if...
25:01He wastes no energy...
25:02Or very little energy...
25:03In playing these shots...
25:04Silky smooth...
25:05But always classy...
25:06Even with that shot...
25:07He's sort of going...
25:08With the ball...
25:09Going into the shot...
25:10That is beautiful...
25:11And he's trying to...
25:12Hit it straight...
25:13He's not...
25:14Broken the wrist...
25:15And tried to hit it...
25:16Square...
25:17That is a terrific shot...
25:18Goalie will appreciate that...
25:19Not at this moment...
25:20But looking back...
25:21Topours...
25:22To get as low as...
25:25Rizman did...
25:26Because I don't think...
25:27That was...
25:28What you call...
25:29A typical...
25:30Short ball...
25:31And play that shot...
25:32Is great...
25:33Skill...
25:34Almost a...
25:36Half sweep...
25:37Half pull...
25:38That real...
25:39Great...
25:40N conn conn conn...
25:41Only respectable...
25:42B down...
25:43And play that shot, this great skill.
25:47It's almost a half sweep, half pull.
25:51Gets down low, smashes it.
25:53Yes, the key to this worm is just the wickets.
25:57The Pakistanis slightly just edge in front of the run rate at the same time.
26:02But they just haven't lost a wicket.
26:04And right now, it just seems Baba Razam hasn't really taken a risk.
26:07Well, he never really did. It looks like he takes a risk.
26:09But Rizwan is a great fool for him.
26:13Right, he's got all the one that needed that.
26:15And it's just clear the boundary for six.
26:17The pressure was built against someone had to release a ball.
26:22And that shot has done just that from Baba Razam.
26:27Baba Razam, the beauty of this shot is he doesn't premeditate.
26:31He waits for a little bit of length, a little bit flat of trajectory.
26:35He just powers the ball to the shorter side.
26:38The shorter side of the ground.
26:40He would have known that would have been the back of his mind.
26:43He can get a little bit of length.
26:44He just gets under it beautifully.
26:46And again, it's so effortless.
26:48He's not trying to over hit the ball.
26:50He's just getting the middle of the bat on the ball.
26:53Oh, it was in the air, but split the gap.
26:58Probably would have gone over the field anyway.
27:03Yes, it just bounced a little bit on Baba there.
27:06Just dragged it down a tiny bit of overspin.
27:09And he's cut it hard enough.
27:11He was perfectly in the gap anyway.
27:12But just cut it hard enough to get it up and over the field.
27:16Chakrabarti, this is a really crucial time.
27:19He needs to be right on the money here.
27:21To get the wicket that India desperately need.
27:24Now, we probably thought that Rizwan was doing all the running, wasn't he?
27:32This is a vintage Baba innings.
27:34That he's just come back up.
27:35And at the moment, Baba's 113, Rizwan's 118.
27:40Not much difference.
27:42This is where this rooftop run chase is perfectly suited for Baba.
27:49This doesn't feel like he's taking a risk.
27:51Can you get his run right up quite high?
27:57It could be tricky, too, at the strikers' end.
28:00Oh, the throws at the non-strikers.
28:01And I'll tell you what, they were sprinting for their lives on the second.
28:06Would they make it?
28:09They certainly hustled.
28:12They hustled.
28:14Baba's, um, coming back to the danger end.
28:17I think it's a direct hit.
28:18Very close.
28:21Surya Kumar, that's...
28:23That's the moment the Indian need.
28:24Everyone needs to be stepping up here
28:26to be able to have that moment that can change the game.
28:31Haven't got it in the first ten overs.
28:37Now the non-strikers end of the directive!
28:39Is that the moment?
28:40Raise your arm!
28:49Tell you what, the batter's in the air for a long time.
28:50If you're a Pakistan supporter, you'd have your heart in your mouth watching that replay.
28:55Over the top!
28:58Over the top!
29:00Enough on it, and that'll race away!
29:02Classy boundary!
29:04There's something about this batsman, isn't it?
29:08Barbarism, you can watch him on and on and on.
29:10On and on and on.
29:12Exactly at eights.
29:14And you feel that it's almost now where India need to strike.
29:19Slots three!
29:20Over the top!
29:21Maximum!
29:22Like I said, that's the short end of the boundary.
29:23That is what they're looking to target.
29:25And at this stage, when they've got all wickets in it, that's what they need to do.
29:28Through their bats.
29:29Because Chakravarti has been pretty economical in the first three overs.
29:31Now in his final over, they don't want him to go a tight over.
29:32They want to attack him.
29:33That's what Rizwan has done.
29:35and make sure that there's no drama.
29:42Make sure that they're up with the rate.
29:44Easy.
29:58such a superb partnership but you don't want to leave say 20 runs at the back end you want to be
30:09able to be up with the rate and also in front of the rate one gets so low so it's quite a short
30:16delivery but his ability to hit the excited like all cricket keeper batsman this incredible shot
30:23that because he also moved to the offside throwing Chakravarti off a bit this time is Barbara same
30:32result smashes it and gets to 50 this has been so much talk so much comparison between Virat Kohli
30:48and Barbara Azzam and so with Virat Kohli getting a half century when India bat it it was exactly the
30:55kind of incentive that the Pakistan captain needed to show that he's not far behind that's a terrific
31:01innings from the Pakistan captain support it a little bit short again the short end of the boundary
31:12that means so much Barbara being the top t20 player with top pair for Pakistan full stop and to do it on
31:34this stage he wanted this badly and he's done it 99 without loss 100 partnership brought up with that
31:44Pakistan just need 52 now and they've got 7.1 overs in which to get them
31:54this is the third hundred partnership for Pakistan which upon trying to lift the spirits of the Indian
32:04goalers Indian fielders short and thumped in the gap Barbara Azzam gets into the fence
32:15the placement is fantastic but look at the footwork it's the footwork that has allowed him so much time
32:27to hit the ball the back foot going towards the stumps making very good use of the depth of the crease
32:36marginally short then it clears that front foot this is a top shot absolutely terrific and even bet better
32:46placement that's going to be another boundary away from the fielder try to find the clicker delivery at the
33:01number that's
33:23a lot of pressure applied on the bowlers and they will falter it's not been his day
33:27the last six, still all ten wickets in hand, Pakistan well on their way.
33:47Maring a complete shift in this game.
33:51It seems as if, finally, Pakistan are going to get the better of India in an ICC event,
34:02barring the Champions Trophy, and never won against India in T20 World Cups.
34:08So this will be a first.
34:12Well, yesterday, England had turned the tables on the West Indies.
34:17Oh, they had lost to five times before.
34:20Now over here, it looks like Pakistan is going to repeat what England did to the West Indies yesterday.
34:27Really well placed.
34:29The asking rate now below seven.
34:32That is pretty much a runner ball.
34:35Terrific.
34:36You need a few more of those and maybe slip it underneath the bat to get a wicket.
34:49Because these two have almost batted India out of the game.
34:53It's important for Pakistan that they keep doing so because you don't want a new batsman coming in at this stage of the innings.
35:00It is hot out there.
35:02You can see the way the sweat is dripping off the helmets.
35:05Time through the onside.
35:18That'll get his round to his 50, 52 or 41 and does it with style.
35:24The punch-off.
35:26That's a terrific shot.
35:28It was a pretty quick delivery, about 140 km per hour.
35:33But he got into position so quickly.
35:35He uses the bottom hand to very good effect.
35:37We've seen it when he plays that scoop sweep.
35:40And he once again bringing the bottom hand into play.
35:44Marginally short of length but look at that shot.
35:49This is a magnificent shot from Rizwan.
35:52So both the opening batsmen now have got a half century.
36:04Four is a two.
36:06Rizwan very quick.
36:07He'll get back.
36:09He's now almost drawn a ball.
36:12Very little has gone past the bat.
36:19Over the years Nasser, we've used different expressions to describe Pakistan.
36:22We've said they're mercurial, they're unpredictable, they're gifted.
36:27How did he ever use the words calm and clinical?
36:31Nothing has been that.
36:33That is just symbolic of the kind of batting we have seen today.
36:37There's two fielders out in the deep and he's played an imperious pull shot.
36:41Yeah, they've been quite brilliant, haven't they?
36:45These two, since Rizwan's moved up to open, they've been absolutely outstanding.
36:55Calm, cool, calculated.
36:59Absolute masterclass at the moment in how to go about a run chase.
37:04Absolutely textbook this.
37:06From time to time they play a couple of quiet overs.
37:09But the innings never really stagnated.
37:11I thought the running between the wickets was fantastic.
37:13You'll remember the shots when Rizwan and Babur played them.
37:16The running was outstanding.
37:18All set up by Shaheen Shafir, isn't it?
37:28What he did with that spell, kept India down to 150.
37:31It meant that Babur and Rizwan could pace themselves the way they're most comfortable doing.
37:35Yeah, they've played the better cricket for large parts of this game, but it's not over yet.
37:40They've got to keep going.
37:42Pakistan fans have waited for a long time for this moment in World Cup cricket.
37:47They'll have their fingers crossed still.
37:49They've got to finish it off.
37:50That final hurdle.
37:5227 of 28, Nasser.
37:55They've been through the ups and downs of Pakistan cricket over the years.
38:01They will be counting down every single run.
38:04And not just here.
38:06Wherever cricket is watched.
38:09Wherever cricket is celebrated.
38:15You're right.
38:16They've waited a long, long time to 0-12 before this game in all World Cup matches.
38:22But I just wonder, the words that I just used,
38:24there's a calm, calculated, clinical.
38:27I just wonder if that's the Babur era in Pakistan betting.
38:30Because, remember, go back to 2015 World Cup.
38:33The moment Pakistan is chasing people would start to get nervous.
38:36Their fans would.
38:39But these two, it's just an extraordinary opening combination.
38:42And I think the bubbliness of Rizwan just goes perfectly well with the calmness of Babur.
38:48Every time you thought that the run rate was stropping a little bit, there'd be a calculated hit.
39:05He's played beautifully.
39:07I thought India bowled a little bit too straight early on, actually.
39:10It's almost like they had a plan of let's bowl straight.
39:13And the amount of times that he just picked them up, leg side.
39:17Suddenly picked up on length off the spinners, but the seamers in particular.
39:21Amazing when you go to your bowlers and you say,
39:24go straight, bring the stumps into play.
39:26There you go, leg stump.
39:27There you go, leg stump.
39:56Yeah, they took on Varun Chakravarti.
39:58Very few in recent times have done that.
40:03111 kilometers an hour.
40:0669 meters long and not the highest.
40:08Just about 16 meters high.
40:14The second higher.
40:15Not a bad aura but 7 came from it quite easily.
40:27138 minutes.
40:28One more.
40:30Twenty more.
40:32Twenty more to win!
40:34Twenty more to win!
40:36that one was about 20 meters high
40:47we often in common talk about sixes that are parabolas we talk about flat sixes
40:54it's a very good indicator of what we're trying to say
41:06boomer has got one left and they're trying to work out when to bowl that boomer over
41:11you don't want to be saving him for the 20th it's either got to be the 18th or 19. i'm going 18
41:18because pakistan will try and end this before the last over you get into that last over
41:23and funny things happen try and get most of these runs before 19 are done
41:31i'd imagine that's how they'd face the runches wouldn't imagine it's a 19 over game
41:35and hence as a captain coley's got to imagine that and then if anyone has to bowl the 20th
41:39we'll try and get out of it but can't have boomer left with just one to bowl so booby now
41:44and then maybe boomer otherwise it'll be too late they need some kind of magic
41:52difference between the two sides also was the way they used the new ball india's
41:56new ball is about 122 123 a little tame
41:59now that shahin shah fridi was just outstanding have long said that at the two ends pakistan
42:05have two genuine once in a generation players in barbara azam and shahin shah fridi and we saw that
42:12today
42:25throws his bat sometimes doesn't he raise one
42:28he's not a barber
42:29and yet in that contrasting styles look at what they've got there's one 63 of 49 barber 63 of 48
42:38the two different batsmen different styles this one's a bit more of a thrasher
42:43all the just strokes and caresses the ball picks up length beautifully barbara azam especially off the
42:48spinner a bit of inzi about him the way he picks up length off the spinner to pull it away great inzaman
42:54great inzaman played that beautifully
43:01there's a magnificent chaser inzaman
43:24so
43:31since so many events for pakistan in the past there's a magic moment back in 2007
43:45in the air sreesha takes it india wins
43:59i hope this won't be called wide yeah pakistan fans have had to endure that for a long time those
44:03those images of being so near and yet so far never having won a world cup game against against india
44:09today in a sense is is there a way of saying look we're around here too you know we win games
44:15yeah the key for them if and there's still a big if you can tell in that dressing room
44:19this mustn't be their final they've got to realize this is a journey for them
44:25coach and batting coach they've got a new setup behind the scenes it's always turmoil this is a journey
44:33massive step this but still what do they need 21 from 21
44:39and
44:52india got a bit of a finishing kick and that's what got them to 151 at the same point india with just 113
44:59pakistan don't need that finishing kick they can just play it very calmly
45:02that's because i think they've bossed the middle overs i'm going boomerang next over i reckon
45:08personally what will be about 18 19 20 to win boomerang comes in and bowls a magical over that goes for four
45:14with a couple of wickets then india back in it can't let it drift any longer
45:18good measure thought that he was almost on that tram line the umpire disagreed
45:31this one wasn't happy with the first one he shuffled across a bit and it wasn't why did
45:37umpires have had a pretty good evening to be honest where was it in relation to that line yeah i'm going
45:44yeah i'm going wide
45:55this could well be a two here as well
45:57the running as i said a little while ago the running's been outstanding
46:02it's still pretty humid out there so to be able to come back
46:05too very quickly so late in the innings that's wonderful
46:20it's now the highest opening partnership against india and all the t20 internationals
46:24it's the only place to bat in t20 cricket at the top joss butler moving up for england it is the best
46:30place to bat obviously you'll get the odd spell like shane shower 3d bowl today where it will swing
46:36and then you're a little bit vulnerable but in this format top three
46:44now now now he's letting that he's letting that now the batsman's not happy 135 for no loss
46:50well the key there was did the batter move across did barber move across his stumps at all
47:02he moved one stump and that's why there was a little bit of leeway if you move across
47:07that white line moves across with you and that's why the umpire said no you moved
47:20well captain went to nasa you just can't let the game drift who is the only man out there that can
47:34get india back in this game it's boomer how does he do it double wicket over with four runs
47:40and then then pakistan may panic there's only one team that can lose this game from here that's pakistan
47:47so throw your cards now this is your cards all your cards on the table boomerang go for it give me some
47:52magic
48:07and then of course 19 and 20 will burnish well and shami
48:10really very very little to play with here for jaspreet boomerang now these huddles at times like
48:18these now it's pretty apparent which way the game is going what's the discussion going to be there it
48:23is how many fielders to bring in so you're going for your best bowler and what's he gone for he's
48:28gone back to shami here is he he's changed it he's absolutely changed he's waiting for the 19th of
48:34one year but you're captain in this so he's banking on shami doing something magical and then boomerang
48:41they want that was the debate and also how many fielders to bring in
48:46did you make a very valid point of batting top of the order you look in ipo as well india
48:50but five or six options at the top of the order you start to come down four five very few
48:55well what's he got
49:03also behind the stumps as you can see there's third man third man's coming in there good
49:09spot third man's coming in long golf's drop back long gone's back
49:13well of all the things you could do how high was that you want to look at that but it doesn't matter
49:26because off the bat it was high enough to go beyond the ropes
49:29i'm not sure why he went shami at this stage one of the great white ball bowlers in bungrah
49:40and that would be close to a no ball on height
49:51it was really a free hit when it came there it's a big six too because that's
49:54it's gone first here ten fours and five sixes
50:05it's now 11 from 17 and i think nasa i think boomerang just not bull the last over
50:11if he does there'll only be a couple needed so i thought that was odd from kolyu ever
50:16convinced him he gave it to boomerang first up obviously the dude didn't help shami there
50:19it has come down slipped out of his hand
50:24the reason he had to pull out is that there's people gently strolling past the side screen over
50:36there possibly towards the car park the indian shirts on it will be good will be
50:43and now through the onside there's only gaps at the moment as far as rizwan is concerned
50:56and there's now like a good middle distance runner there's a nice finishing kick
51:01yeah and you cannot put this down to conditions yep the dues come down
51:05yuck pakistan won the toss but let's be honest that 80 percent of this game they have been the better
51:13side they have bossed it 145 for none what a run chase this has been perfection
51:22pakistan have never won a t20 international by 10 wickets
51:35this one is going into the gap as well take all the fielders out you don't need them
51:39because at the moment the batsman can't even see them all he's seeing is the spaces in between
51:44oh it must be a wonderful feeling to be seeing the ball like that
51:48well if you're going to wait this long to beat them in a world cup game you might as well do it
51:53special in 10 wickets they could do this what a partnership this is 149 unbroken
52:01and rizwan and baba have been outstanding now pakistan fans believe we've had so many things thrown at
52:10them 0 5 0 12 now there's a number there and they've never lost the t20 international by 10 wickets
52:24but it doesn't matter which side you're supporting it's just been such an admirable display of batsmanship
52:29by these two there's a reason these two have been so successful at the top of the order they've put
52:33on a they've put on a show here they sure have different styles of players he thrashes at it a bit
52:40where is one of a touch and class hardly put a foot wrong hardly a chance it's just been outstanding
52:51and first ball will be the last pretty soon it will be this one
52:59it's a single are they going to get a second here they're charging back for the second
53:03this could be the moment this is the moment and all of pakistan will celebrate as with these two
53:10young men out there they're a wonderful opening partnership
53:14muhammad rizwan baba razum calm clinical and extremely skillful
53:19take it in pakistan fans you've waited a long long time for this moment take it all in
53:29all the years of pain and hate and finally you've beaten india in a world cup game it's only a journey
53:36though remember that it's a journey in a tournament but this is a great start in that journey
53:43i hope a lot of you are watching these pictures a celebration in the pakistan camp as you'd imagine
53:51but genuine respect as as the two teams shake hands at the end i thought that those pictures of
53:57virat with barber and rizwan were wonderful too but well played pakistan win by 10 wickets
