June 04, 2017  17:06


India 95-0 (19 ovs) vs Pak | Scorecard


The openers lift the ante as Rohit and Dhawan hit Wahab for a boundary each to get 13 from the 16th over.

After three singles from the first three balls, Rohit smashes Wahab over the extra cover region for a four. He steers the fifth ball fine past the fielder at first slip for a single as Hasan does well on the thirdman fence.

Dhawan cuts the last ball over the point region for the second boundary of the over as Wahb goes for plenty in his second over.

Leg-spinner Shadab Khan comes into the attack in place of Hasan, who bowled a steady first spell of four overs for 18 runs.

The Indian batsmen doing well to get five runs from his over without much of a fuss to keep the scoreboard moving.

Wahab looks to squeeze the pressure with a tidy over, giving away three runs as Pakistan look to dry up the boundaries and build some pressure in the middle overs.

Rohit looks to break the shackles as he looks to slog sweep Shadab but gets a top edge which falls safely on the leg side for two runs.

The fifth ball is short and this time Rohit has enough time to pull it over midwicket for a six to bring up his half-century in grand style, from 71 balls.
