Rohit blasts 36-ball fifty; India in control

September 19, 2018 21:59

India 86-0 (13 ovs) vs Pak 162 | Scorecard

Hasan tries a short ball to Dhawan, who rocks back and swats it over the leg side, clearing the fielder at deep square leg for a six and then takes one to thirdman.

Faheem starts his next over with a no-ball as he oversteps. Dhawan is unable to take advantage of the free hit as he smashes it powerfully but can't beat the fielder at mid-off.

But two balls later, he flicks it off his pads over midwicket for a four as India continue their quickfire start.

Pakistan's pacers are proving to be too predictable at the moment. Hasan drops it short as Rohit pulls it off his front foot for a six over square leg and then takes one to thirdman and Dhawan takes one off the next ball.

Rohit in full flow as lofts a full delivery from Hasan over mid-off for a four to race to his fifty, from just 36 balls.

13 runs from the over as India reach 86 for no loss in 13 overs, needing another 77 runs for victory.
