India vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2022 Highlights: Epic Virat Kohli innings leads IND to 4-wicket win in nail-biter

Easy catch back to Bhuvneshwar and Afridi is not too happy with himself for that. He has played a useful hand here. 

Shaheen Afridi c & b Bhuvneshwar 16 (8), Pakistan 151/8 off 19.2 overs

Into the last over and those lusty blows from Afridi has done wonders for Pakistan. 14 runs off the 19th and so Arshdeep's fine debut dented slightly. Bhuvi comes back for the final over, this is where the Indian veteran has had issues. 

Arshdeep tries the yorker next ball, can't quite get it, Afridi steps down and sends the ball careening past the bowler. 

Nope, it's not Shahid Afridi, it indeed is Shaheen! A pull shot of the highest order and the ball is sent flying into the stands. 

The importance of this innings cannot be stressed enough. He has held strong while his teammates fell around him. Additionally, it is just brilliant to see him play like this after seeing him on the ground in that video from nets after his sickening blow. Fantastic stuff from Masood. 

Into the last two overs now. Arshdeep Singh returns for his final over. Can he make it four or more on debut, which is already the stuff of dreams one would say. 

Full and angling into the stumps and this time, Masood clips it nicely past mid-on for a boundary. 

Full, angling into the right hander and Masood makes room trying to play it on the onside. Gets an edge to it and the ball dashes behind for a boundary. 

Shan Masood (remember him?) is still around. He has seen team mates come and go at the other end in these last 10 overs and he is on 40 off 34. He is on strike now at the start of the 18th over and Shami has the ball in his hands and he needs to get going now, lest it become a hopeless one for Pakistan. 

Oh bouncer from hell that comes from nowhere, Asif looking to duck but it doesn't really bounce as much, the bat is raised has protection, ball takes the edge and it is an easy catch for DK. Third wicket for him on World Cup debut. 

Asif Ali c Karthik b Arshdeep Singh 2 (3), Pakistan 120/7 in 16.4 overs

Edged and gone! Muted celebration so it took a couple for the multitudes at the MCG to understand what has happened. Pandya bowls short of a length in to Nawaz's body, who tries to make room again but can't quite get enough, gets a slight top edge to Karthik.  

Nawaz c Karthik b Pandya 9 (6), Pakistan 115/6 in 15.5 overs

Short from Pandya, Nawaz makes room and gets under the ball to send it to the boundary. Fantastic shot and they now move to 111/5 in 15.2. 

Quite a sensational over there from Ashwin. There were probably one and a half catching chances there. The first one came to nothing because Masood's shot hit the spider cam and was declared a dead ball, leaving Rohit pretty unhappy because he was gone for all money otherwise. Masood then hits the next one straight back to Ashwin who does well to get a hand to it. 

What are Pakistan doing! They have gone from being in a strong position to being rickety once again. Haider Ali goes hard but miscues that shot completely, Suryakumar in play once again and makes no mistake with that catch. 

Haider Ali c Suryakumar b Pandya 2 (4), Pakistan 98/5 in 14 overs

Angling in from Pandya, Shadab takes it on and sends soaring into the sky. SKY keeps his eyes on it and makes no mistake in pouching it. 

Shadab Khan c Suryakumar b Pandya 5 (6), Pakistan 96/4 in 13.2 overs

Oh sensation delivery from Shami and that will be the end for Iftikhar. Full and quick surprises Iftikhar and it raps him full on the pads. 

Iftikhar Ahmed lbw b Mohammed Shami 51 (34), Pakistan 91/3 in 12.2 overs

It has come in 32 balls and he is on 51 at the end of the 12th. The tables have turned and it has been turned by Iftikhar in these last two overs. 

A dot ball after that first six and then two go downtown. The first one clears the fence with ease but the second one brings in some acrobatics at the ropes. Rahul thinks he is in play at long off, tries to palm the ball back inside the ropes in the air but doesn't quite manage that. Extraordinary cricket from Iftikhar. 

Axar brought in now and his first ball has disappeared. Iftikhar clears his front foot and slog sweeps over wide long on. 

We are at the 'G allright when the first six comes in the 12th over. Steps out to a flat offbreak from Ashwin and sends it soaring downtown. He takes on the longer boundary and crosses it with aplomb. 50 partnership between these two. 

Well that will go down as a drop at cover from Rohit Sharma but it would have been a contender for catch of the tournament had that stuck. 

Masood is on 29 off 26 balls, Iftikhar on 21 off 21. Bhuvi has just one more over left so we might not see him till the last four overs now that Pakistan have got through the first 10 overs with just two wickets gone. Arshdeep, Shami and Pandya all have two overs left while Ashwin has bowled just one. Axar is yet to bowl and he won't be bowling the 11th, Ashwin comes back for his second. 

Iftikhar gets it through the gap between deep third and deep backward point. Partnership gets into the 40s now. 

Six runs off the ninth over bowled by Ashwin, making it the first over of spin in this match. No boundaries but Masood did skip down the track and tried going inside out over cover. They could just take two runs off it though. 

A semblance of stability now for Pakistan with Masood and Iftikhar putting on 30m runs for the third wicket.
