Pakistan 186-1 (31 ovs) vs India | Scorecard

Fakhar has changed gears. He charges Ashwin and smashes him back over the bowler's head for another straight six and drives the next ball through the covers for three runs.

Fakhar looks to cut the last ball but gets a thick outside edge which beats the fielder at short thirdman for another fun as Ashwin goes for 17 runs.

This has been a stunning attack from Pakistan led by Fakhar's brilliant strokeplay as they hammer 33 runs from the last two overs to take the score to 167 for one in 27 overs.

Pandya comes back in place of Jadeja, who went for 46 runs in his six overs.

Pandya tries a short ball as Fakhar plays the pull shot but gets it on the gloves which goes over the wicketkeeper for a four to take him into the 90s.

Babar Azam plays a controlled pull shot behind square on the leg side for a couple to get eight runs from the over.

Fakhar has cut loose after the run of Azhar, hitting 39 runs from 21 balls.

Pakistan are looking on course for a 300-plus total as they reach 179 for one in 30 overs, scoring at nearly six per over.

Fakhar completes his maiden ODI century, as he sweeps Ashwin for a boundary square on the leg side, off just 92 balls.

What a superb innings from the young left-hander in a high pressure final against India!
