IND vs PAK
India stamped their dominance over arch-rivals Pakistan once again, chasing down 172 with ease in what was ultimately a one-sided contest despite going into the 19th over. The foundation of the chase was laid by a blistering opening stand between Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill, who tore into Pakistan’s bowlers from the outset.
Abhishek set the tone with a stunning six off the very first ball from Shaheen Afridi, signalling India's intent. Pakistan’s spinners, especially Saim Ayub – who had claimed a three-wicket haul in the previous encounter, were unable to replicate their success. His short lengths were punished, and Abhishek, in particular, took a liking to Abrar Ahmed, launching towering sixes over mid-wicket.
The match saw some heated moments as verbal exchanges flared between the Indian openers and Pakistan pacers Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. Tensions ran high, but it only seemed to fuel India's momentum. After the drinks break, Pakistan managed to break the 100+ opening stand and picked up a couple more wickets, but the result was never really in doubt.
Earlier, Pakistan posted 171/5, anchored by Sahibzada Farhan’s 58 off 45 and late cameos from Salman Agha (17)* and *Faheem Ashraf (20 off 8)**. Despite some tight bowling by Varun Chakaravarthy (4-0-25-0) and Kuldeep Yadav (1/31), India conceded more than they would’ve liked, especially with Bumrah having an off day (0/50).
But in the chase, Abhishek’s dazzling 74 was the standout. India begin their Super Fours campaign with a statement win, showcasing their firepower at the top and control with the ball. Stay tuned for post-match reactions and analysis.
