India vs Pakistan, Asia Cup 2022 Super 4 Highlights: PAK beat IND by 5 wickets in thriller for the ages

Asif Ali falls to Arshdeep Singh! Some level of redemption for the young pacer, this match is not for the faint of heart. Pakistan need two to win off two balls. Arshdeep had managed to get a dot ball after that previous boundary. Sensational stuff!

Pakistan need two to win off four. Picked up the attempted yorker that becomes a low full toss over the bowler's head to the boundary. Rizwan jumping up and down in the balcony. What a chase this is!

Pakistan need just 7 to win in the last over. Arshdeep Singh bowling it. Chance for him to redeem himself and much more if he defends this with one of the two batters in the middle there being one of the best finishers in the world. India have an extra fielder in the circle because of the over rate as well. Pakistan are firm favourites. 

It is that stage of the game where the equation can shift wildly from one way to another in just two deliveries. Khushdil pulls a short one from Bhuvi and Pakistan now need just 12 off 8! Pakistan's game to lose. 

Oh a shot to remember. He just picks Bhuvneshwar up back over his head and into the stands behind the bowler. Pakistan need 18 to win in 10 balls!

That is extraordinary. Rohit Sharma gives Arshdeep an earful after that. Asif Ali goes for a slog sweep, ends up getting a top edge and it nicely floats to Arshdeep at short third. An easy catch, and Arshdeep seemed to take it as that, and he ended up dropping it and looking quite silly. He throws the ball back, has a slight smile on his face, which makes Wasim Akram say he shouldn't have that on him either. 

Right then, we have another India-Pakistan thriller in our hands. For 15 years there were one-sided matches between these two sides and now we have got too nail-biters back to back. Ravi Bishnoi comes in to bowl the 18th. Pakistan need 34 to win from 18, they have the dangerous Asif Ali at the non-striker's end and Khushdil Shah is on strike. 

Well, well, well, Hardik Pandya was luckless just a few minutes ago and he has now got the big wicket of Mohammad Rizwan, has the game completely turned in India's favour now? Slow one from Pandya, Rizwan can't get the distance despite getting off the middle of the bat. He holes out at long-on and a brilliant innings comes to an end. 

Rizwan c Yadav b Pandya 71 (51), Pakistan 147/4, need 35 to win in 19 balls

Bhuvneshwar Kumar delivers and Mohammad Nawaz goes after smashing 42 in 20 balls. Partnership between him and Rizwan ends at 73 off just 41 balls. Sort of a length, Nawaz looks to go down the ground. The ball was in the air for a while and Hooda does well to keep his eyes in it all the way. 

Nawaz c Hooda b Kumar 42 (20), Pakistan 136/3 in 15.3 overs 

Partnership of 72 off 38 balls between Rizwan and Nawaz. Nawaz is on 42 off just 18 and Rizwan has made 60 in 44. India firmly on the backfoot now and desperately need a wicket here. 

Length delivery outside off, lots and lots of room for Rizwan to rock back and cut it through backward point. What a fight back this has been from these two. 

Tossed up delivery down the leg side now, Nawaz sweeps it to the fine leg boundary. Make that 55 need to win off 34 now, that gap is closing quite quickly now.  

Chahal tosses it up, Nawaz picks it up and goes over the deep backward square leg. Pakistan need 59 to win off 35 now. 

Short from Pandya, Nawaz goes for a pull but only gets a top edge. Lucky for him that it flies over the keeper for a four right behind him. All going Pakistan's way at the moment and Rohit has a lot to think about now. 

Pandya goes full outside off, Nawaz hits over cover for four. He is on 28 off 12 balls and these two are dragging Pakistan back into this match. 

He is hurting from the knock on his knee that he sustained earlier while keeping but he has managed to reach a half century in 37 balls. This is quite a colossal effort from Rizwan and he is slowly getting Pakistan back into this chase alongwith Mohammad Nawaz. 

He has been brought on to go after the spinners and that is what he is doing at the moment. Lifts Bishnoi over deep mid-wicket for his second six. Partnership is now up to 31 off 17 and this will start worrying India now. 

That was a poor delivery from Chahal. Not the kind of delivery that entices batters, just a poor one. Nice juicy full toss for Rizwan to feed on and he whips out one of signature pick up shots for his second maximum. 

India were 93/3. They stay one wicket and about 20 runs ahead of Pakistan in this chase. Pakistan have their hopes firmly pinned on Rizwan and it is safe to say that we have already come to a point where we can say that this will become a real thriller if Pakistan can get close from this point. 

Nawaz promoted up the order and delivering for now. He started off with a four off Chahal and now smacks a six off Pandya. Pakistan need much more of this. 

OUT! Chahal delivers, Fakhar Zaman goes for an 18-ball 15! Fakhar is a dangerous customer but he has been completely nullified by India here. Chahal laid a trap and Fakhar bit. Slow delivery that Fakhar tries to hit straight down the ground. He ends up putting into the hands of Kohli at long-on. 

Fakhar Zaman c Kohli b Chahal 15 (18), Pakistan 63/2 in 8.4 overs

Gets to the pitch of the ball with some good footwork, does Rizwan, and hits it through mid-off. Kohli intercepts at the boundary but the ball rolls from underneath him and touches the boundary. He should have stopped that one. 

India at this stage were 62/2. They are clearly ahead at the moment and will be prioritising wickets. Pakistan have some truly dangerous batters yet to come apart from the ones they have in the middle now. Yuzvendra Chahal comes in. 

The indomitable Mohammad Rizwan gets down on one knee and picks it up over square leg for a brilliant six. This is some shot from the Pakistan wicketkeeper. 

Saw that third man was up and went for the slash off Pandya through backward point for his first boundary. That is also his first runs, after facing four dot balls. 

Babar had tried to jab it through the midwicket but hit straight to Rohit Sharma standing there. He was looking good, the Pakistan captain, but no big score from today as well. 

Babar Azam c Rohit Sharma b Ravi Bishnoi 14 (10), Pakistan 22/1 in 3.4 overs

Babar has hit it straight to midwicket and Bishnoi seems to have got the biggest Pakistan wicket in his first over. The Indians celebrate but then the umpire asks Babar to stop as Bishnoi's front foot gets checked. It took a few seconds but then the umpire does ask him to walk along!

Short from Bhuvi, not too much pace on it, Babar smashes it in front of square for his second four. Rohit brings in Bishnoi for the third over. 

India had scored 11 in the first over. Rizwan does have a dodgy knee remember, wonder how long he will be able to go with it. It is quite extraordinary that he is out there in the first place. 

Bhuvneshwar goes down the leg side, Babar whips it past midwicket for his first four. We haven't really seen the best of Babar Azam in this tournament and how India would be hoping he would not let lose in this match. There were a couple of play-and-misses in the two balls before this shot. 

Off the first ball itself. Short and wide from Bhuvneshwar and Rizwan cuts it past point for four. That's a nice way to start a 182-run chase. 

Rauf's attempted yorker had become a low full toss and Bishnoi went for a slice past point. Fakhar charged in from the deep but the ball spinner past him and went for four. The sixth delivery was almost an action replay, except this time Bishnoi couldn't keep it down. Fakhar came in again for a catch, overruns and had to hop. He ends up palming it for a four. 

“We made a good comeback after a quick start and we did well in the middle overs as well. I try to keep things simple, which is the toughest thing in cricket. Earlier, I had complicated it, which resulted an injury as well. The last two boundaries can definitely hurt but we will be aiming for a good start to the chase. The pitch is a lot better, the ball is coming on to the bat nicely.”

Well, well, well, Pakistan hardly made any mistakes throughout this innings in this innings but they have committed blunders off the last two balls of it. Ravi Bishnoi has hit two fours in the only two balls he has faced throughout this innings. Haris Rauf visibly frustrated, he bowled a nearly perfect last over but the fielders slipped up at the crucial time. How expensive will that prove to be for Pakistan?

A run out to end a brilliant innings. But India might just rue this last over. Only one run as come in the first four balls now. 

Kohli run out (Asif Ali) 60 (44), India 173/7 in 19.4 overs. 

And that run has come from a wide first ball. Kohli refused a single off the second delivery and was pinned in the crease with an excellent yorker from Haris Rauf. 

Kohli has to put on his finishing hat now. He is on strike, Bhuvneshwar Kumar is at the other end. He is on 59 off 30 and he has gone past Rohit Sharma for most half centuries in T20 internationals. 

Another great catch from a Pakistan fielder. They have been on point today really, even avoiding a collision drop. Slower one from Naseem, Hooda goes aerial. The ball was in the air forever it seems, Nawaz settles under it at long-on, keeps it in his eyesight all along and takes the catch. 

149kph from Mohammad Hasnain, Kohli moves a little to the off-side and smashes it over deep midwicket for a maximum. This has been some innings from the former India captain. It is hot and humid there and he has darted around the pitch in addition to hitting boundaries at regular intervals. He takes off the helmet and points to the India badge to celebrate. 

Short from Hasnain, into Hooda's face and the batter ends up arching his back almost to the point that it's parrallel to the ground and ramps it over the wicketkeeper's head. Hooda is on the ground after that shot and Kohli is punching his bat in delight.
