Even the mystery spinner is finding it difficult to get a wicket, so it's the time to bring Jasprit Bumrah back into the attack. Will a bouncer work?
24 October 2021, 21:59 PM
Pakistan have started really well in this match. In the six overs of powerplay, Pakistan have scored 43 in six overs. Both--Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan--are doing really well. If they keep playing like this then India will find it difficult to return in the match.

24 October 2021, 21:47 PM
Varun Chakravarthy has started weaving his web of spin around Pakistan openers. Azam and Rizwan will have to be careful. Pakistan are at 24 in 4 overs.
24 October 2021, 21:37 PM
Pakistan openers--Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam--are off to a flying start. Indian bowlers are bowling at a great pace but the batsmen don't seem to be in any sort of troubles. Will it be an easy chase for Pakistan?
24 October 2021, 21:17 PM
India did good in the last over. India finished the innings at 151/7. Will it be a good score? Can Pakistan chase it down?

Virat Kohli is playing like a sheet anchor. He will start accelerating now. The bowling attack of Pakistan may not be able to hold it together under pressure. Kohli has scored 31 off 31 balls so far, but the stats can change anytime. Virat hits a stylish FOUR on Rauf.
24 October 2021, 20:38 PM
Rishabh Pant scored 39 off 30 balls before being caught by Shadab Khan on his own bowling. Pant's two HUGE sixes will remain in public memory for a long time.

Rishabh Pant's one handed SIX on Hasan Ali's bowl is a sight to behold. he has started dominating the game. Virat Kohli is happy being at the other end.
Another SIX on Hasan Ali.
24 October 2021, 20:18 PM
Rishabh Pant is batting with a lot of common sense. India might be at 58/3 right now, but if these two play well then the team can easily reach to 170. One of these two need to stay till the end.
24 October 2021, 20:10 PM
Rishabh Pant tried a reverse shot but there was a massive appeal against him. However, he survives. Now, Pant will have to go full throttle. Pakistan lose one review. Hafeez might be a cause of concern for India.
