INDIA WIN BY 5 WICKETS!!!

 India 85-5 (15.3 ovs) vs Pak 83 | Scorecard

Riaz comes back as Kohli takes a single on the off-side from the second ball and Yuvraj picks one from the next.

Riaz overpitches as Kohli plays another cracking cover drive for a four followed by a single to take his score to 49.

Sami brings some cheer to the Pakistani fans with the big wicket of Kohli, who is trapped leg before wicket for 49. Kohli straightaway indicates that he has got an inside edge on it but the umpire still raises his finger to give that out.

But it ends a superb innings from India's batting sensation as he played out a difficult spell from Amir early on before taking control to play a superb innings of 49 from 51 balls.

Is there another twist in the tale?

Hardik Pandya yet again comes in ahead of captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni at No. 6. But he lasts just two deliveries as Sami gets him caught by Hafeez at first slip, who takes it after a slight juggle.

India are 76 for five in the 15th over, with another eight runs needed for victory.

Mahendra Singh Dhoni gets off the mark courtesy of a misfield from the fielder in the covers who lets it go through him and gifts India three runs. Yuvraj keeps strike with a single from the last ball, leaving India with four to get from five overs.

Dhoni ends it in the next over as he smashes Riaz through the off-side for a boundary to take India to victory in great style.

India cruise to 85 for five in 15.3 overs to win by five wickets with 27 deliveries to spare on a wicket which offered a lot of assistance to the fast bowlers.
