September 23, 2018


Pak 205-5 (44 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Kuldeep to bowl his final over. Ali takes one from the first ball before Malik turns the next on the leg side for two runs followed by one.

Kuldeep gives one generous flight as Ali goes for the big hit but is beaten and then takes a single on the leg side and Malik picks a single from the last ball.

India's death overs specialist Bumrah comes back into the attack in place of Bhuvneshwar, who was hit for 22 runs in his previous over.

He makes the breakthrough with the key wicket of Malik, who is caught down the leg side by Dhoni.

The veteran batsman rallied Pakistan after a couple of early wickets with his gritty innings of 78 from 90 balls.

But India have struck at a crucial juncture and would be looking to keep Pakistan under check in the final few overs.
