Rohit Sharma-led India go up against Babar Azam’s Pakistan in their Super 12 match at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground. Winning the toss, India put Pakistan in to bat first. The men in green finished their quote of 20 overs at 159/8, courtesy of fifties from Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed as well as some late hitting from Shaheen Afridi and Haris Rauf. IND vs PAK: Captain Rohit's word!
Rohit Sharma: "I was in the dressing room. I don't have any words left. You got to expect something like this in a game like this. We wanted to stay in the game for as long as possible. That crucial partnership was the game changing moment for us. Those two guys are experienced. Staying calm and taking the game deep was very critical. Good for our confidence. Always crucial to get off the mark like this. We were in no position to win this. It has to be Virat's best knock playing for India." IND vs PAK: Pakistan captain on the mic!
Babar Azam: "Our bowlers bowled really well. All credit to Kohli and Pandya. It wasn't easy with the new ball. We had partnerships after 10 overs. We had a chance. We tried to stick to our plans. But credit to Virat Kohli. In the middle we decided we wanted a wicket and held the spinner back."
