India vs Pakistan Highlights, T20 World Cup 2022: Miracle in Melbourne - Vintage Virat Kohli takes India to memorable win vs Pakistan

Axar Patel to Iftikhar Ahmed, Fifty for Iftikhar Ahmed! What a knock and what a time to play this. Pakistan were in deep trouble and he has taken them to safer shores. Needs to continue though. Gets there by cutting this past point, the fielder in the deep runs to his left and keeps it down to three.

Axar Patel to Iftikhar Ahmed, Now pushes this one through and on the pads. Iftikhar Ahmed looks to flick but misses to get hit on the pads.

Axar Patel to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX! That is the three in the over and 4 in the last two. This one is not as long as the last two but still the same amount of runs. This is fired outside off, it is hit towards long off. The connection is not that great. The fielder leaps, takes it but is falling over the ropes. He tries to throw it back in but ends up doing it outside the boundary line. Momentum has shifted completely here.

Axar Patel to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX! Over the fence yet again! Iftikhar Ahmed is turning the tide in favor of Pakistan. He is a six-hitter and it is on display here. Another top shot. Steps out, gets to the pitch of it and powers it well over the long on fence for another biggie. Axar under huge pressure now.

Axar Patel to Iftikhar Ahmed, Drags his length back and fires it into the pads. Iftikhar Ahmed looks to flick but gets an inside edge onto the pads.

Change. Axar Patel to bowl now.

Axar Patel to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX! BANG! Iftikhar Ahmed is in his elements. He is a big hitter and has nailed this one. Welcome into the attack, Axar Patel! He knows Axar does not turn it a lot and hence, plays it with the angle. Plays the slog sweep and clears the mid-wicket fence for a biggie.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Iftikhar Ahmed, Good sensible batting! Gets the biggie, now works it towards mid-wicket and takes one.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Iftikhar Ahmed, SIX! That is a meaty blow! You have to really hit it well if you want to clear the fence here! Iftikhar Ahmed steps out and gets to the pitch of it. He tonks it well over the long on fence for a biggie. Much-needed and it is the first of the game.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Iftikhar Ahmed, On middle, this is pushed to the right of the bowler who stops it well.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Iftikhar Ahmed, DROPPED! Not an easy chance though! Iftikhar Ahmed makes room, this is tossed up on off, it is hit towards cover. Rohit leaps but ends up tipping it over. It goes towards long off for two.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Iftikhar Ahmed, Was that a chance? Iftikhar Ahmed steps out, this is fired on the pads. He looks to flick but misses, it goes between his legs. The keeper fails to take it cleanly and it goes towards short fine leg.

Ravichandran Ashwin to Shan Masood, On the pads, this is worked through mid-wicket for one.

DRINKS! Pakistan have recovered well, after losing two early, Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed are taking them to safer shores. Also, they would now look to accelerate with the conditions getting easier to bat. They will be aiming for something around 150. India on the other hand, will know a score around 150 could be a tricky one if the conditions remain the same. They will look to continue the good work after the break.

Hardik Pandya to Shan Masood, Leg bye! On the pads, tickled off the pads to square leg for a leg bye. Pakistan are 60 for 2 at the halfway mark. A bit behind the 8-ball but have done really well after losing both the openers inside the Powerplay. 

Hardik Pandya to Iftikhar Ahmed, Drops it short and on middle. Ahmed pulls it to deep mid-wicket for a single.
