India vs Pakistan Highlights, Asian Games GOLD medal match: IND survive Hasan Nawaz thriller to clinch GOLD

Who would have thought that? India scored 211 – their best-ever score against Pakistan in T20Is. And then Pakistan responded with a stunning show, riding on the 94-run knock from Hasan Nawaz. Eventually, the target was indeed too much to ask for, especially after the kind of start they got.

Nawaz still a threat for India. He starts off with a six against Dube. That brings down the equation to 29 off 5. Wide ball, next. 28 off 5 now for Pakistan.

Dube bounces back with a nice wide yorker. That all but confirms the GOLD for India. Another yorker follows, just one run. Nawaz still not giving up. He goes for a six on the fourth ball. 22 off 2 now for Pakistan. Miscues the next ball, a shorter delivery. 20 off the final win.

And India win. Dube gets a wicket in the last ball. He dismisses Nawaz.

19th GOLD for India at the Asiad.

Bumrah gets hit for a six, but redeems himself with some tight deliveries, leaving Pakistan with 33 runs to win the game in the final over

The batter tried to go with the ramp shot on the off side, failed. In the third short, Samad launches it over the bowler's head looking for a six, but does not get the distance. Dube takes the catch, and thus ends the crucial 34-run event partnership for Pakistan.

Nawaz remains a threat for India. First a six against Axar in the 16th over. He then gets back-to-back four against Dube. The second one came off a fielding error from Sundar. Samad too joins. Dube bowls a shorter delivery and widish and Samad slices it over the slip cordon for a four. Iyer pulls up Dube for small chat.

Pakistan 160/4 in 17 overs

The wait ends for India. The frustration ends for Iyer. Dube with the golden arm...and he gets rid of Ayub. The batter shuffles across for the scoop, but sends it straight towards Sundar at square leg. He goes back for 29 off 22.

Pakistan 127/4 in 14.2 overs

Of course! Iyer had to get him back. And he too goes for a four. Fortunate one for Pakistan, though. Tucked down to the leg side, and Nawaz glances it behind. Nine runs in the over

100 up for Pakistan as Nawaz gets another six against Bishnoi. This clears the long off comfortably. Pakistan still 109 runs behind, and it's still a tall ask. But should Pakistan continue in this fashion, we could be up for a thriller in Nisshin.

Then hits another six and four to end the over. Bishnoi goes for 20 runs.

Pakistan 117/3 in 13 overs

Since that dropped catch from Sooryavanshi, Pakistan have been counterattacking. Saim Ayib now joins the party with two boundaries against part-time spinner Abhishek. The last four overs have produced 47 runs for Pakistan.

Pakistan 89/3 on 11 overs

Another six from Nawaz. Bishnoi bowls another half-tracker and the batter almost gets down on his knee and goes square of the wicket for a six. And then again, a delivery later, this time over deep mid-wicket. Sundar did have an opportunity. He was standing a bit too up. The bowler and Samson is not happy.

Pakistan 76/3 in 10 overs

Abhishek sets up the catch as Hasan Nawaz sends the ball high into the air toward long-on. Sooryavanshi races in, and so does Bishnoi. The latter notices, stops, but still remains in Sooryavanshi's way, who then crashes into his teammates. Catch dropped!

Nawaz responds with a six on the next ball.

Pakistan 62/3 in 9 overs

After 25 balls, Pakistan their get first boundary. Bishnoi bowls a half-tracker, and Ayub gets in shape to rock back and dispatch it over deep mid-wicket for a six.

Pakistan 52/3 in 8 overs

Sundar with a throw-the-ball-come-back-in catch and Axar gets his second wicket in the match, dismissing Sadaqat for 23 off 18.

Pakistan 39/2 in 6.1 overs

They were riding their luck at the start of the chase, but have now failed to score a single boundary in the last two overs, since the dismissal of Farhan, managing just six runs in the last 15 balls.

Pakistan 39/2 in 6 overs

He has been building pressure with his tight deliveries. Usman Khan ran out of patience and he took on the fuller delivery, but sent it straight to Dube at mid-wicket. Pakistan lose their second wicket for 36 runs in the fifth over.

Sundar gets into the attack and both Farhan and Sadaqat get four each in the first three balls. However, the spinner gets rid of Farhan on the fourth ball. He goes wild with the slog over midwicket, but finds Axar in the deep.

Pakistan 33/1 in 3.4 overs

Sadaqat goes for the slog sweep, gets the top edge and that carries it behind for a four.

Oh...what was that fielding error? Ishan and Sundar both misfield and India concede two more runs.

Pakistan 21/0 in 2 overs

Not the start Bumrah wanted...two no-balls in the opening over and Maaz Sadaqat hits a four on the second free hit. And then survives a scare. Wildly swings the bat, gets an outside edge that carries the ball towards deep backward point. No fielders there.

India 11/0 in 1 overs

First 6 overs: 81/2 (RR - 13.5)

Overs 7-15: 56/3 (RR - 6.2)

Overs 16-20: 74/1 (RR - 14.8)

Tilak scored 43 runs in those final overs, while Dube smashed 23 runs.

Bumrah to begin India's bowling proceedings in the match. Sahibzada Farhan takes strike for Pakistan.

200 up for India with Tilak getting the top edge to fly over the keeper for a six. What's next? Another six! Swings the ball wildly to dislodge the ball over backward square leg for a massive, massive six.

India have scored almost 70 runs in the last five overs.

Tilak brings up his 50 as well. What a knock from the vice-captain.

India finish with 211/6

With India dominating spinners, Pakistan get in a pacer for the last over. Dube, basking in the momentum, goes big with the pull shot, but finds the fielder in the deep. He goes back for 27 off 15.

India 195/6 in 19.1 overs

After Tilak, Dube joins the party. What a six! Smashed wide over long off, and then rocks backs to get it wide of long-on for a six now. That is followed by a four! Dube is on fire and he brings up the fifty-run stand with Tilak. Pakistan head coach Mike Hesson is absolutely frustrated in the Pakistan dug-out.

23 runs in this over! After all the fight back, I will regret this.

India 195/5 in 19 overs
