As the Fans were expecting a good Diwali Gift from the Indian team by beating Pakistan exactly that happened today at the MELBOURNE Cricket Ground Australia. India got hit by the early blows in the powerplay when they were 30-4 in the powerplay. The team was under enormous pressure at that Time but Slowly Hardik Pandya and Kohli built a Partnership that Resulted in India’s Win.
India 160 for 6 (Kohli 82*, Hardik 40) beat Pakistan 159 for 8 (Masood 52*, Iftikhar 51, Arshdeep 3-32, Hardik 3-30) by four wickets.
Arshdeep Singh Knocked the Pakistan Top Order
-Arshdeep Singh Knocked Babur Azam and Rizwan at the start very early backed byHardik Pandya knocked the two wickets in between hurting Pakistan badly . From their onwards Pakistan team took the Score to 159 making it a fighting total as the Pitch was Fast and Pacy and Pakistan Bowling attack was good on that Pitch.
Indian Top Order Gone very Early in PowerPlay
-India Lost KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma Early at 10/2 ,that time Indian Team was under pressure .Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya from that time played sensibly and at the end of first 10 overs India’s score was 45-4 at that Time Chase was impossible because India was batting slowly due to Good Fast Bowling by Pakistan Pacers. After the 10th over Indian Team took Momentum and their score increased from that point of moment and Till the 17th Over India needed 48 of 3 overs. Virat Kohli has hit 2 enormous sixes of Haris Rauf in the 19th over and turned the match in India’s favour. Last over of the innings bowled by Mohd Nawaz which started well for Pakistan as Hardik Pandya got out and then the next two bowl went well for Nawaz on the 4th Bowl Kohli smashed a six out of the Boundary signaling it as No-ball which Pakistan Team did’nt agree. Babar Azam and the Umpires argued for a while whether it was a no-ball or not but in the end umpire decision was supreme. Dinesh Karthik got run out on the second last ball and then came Ashwin who cleverly , just sidestepped that ball and that ball became wide and the whole stadium erupted and on the last ball he chipped the bowl and the whole 90000 crowd at the stadium and back in India went crazy and Indian team won and people of India got Present on Diwali.
