Pakistan overcame a few tense moments to record a five-wicket win over India in their Asia Cup Super 4 contest at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.
Chasing 182, Pakistan reached home with one ball to spare. A 73-run third-wicket stand between Mohammad Rizwan (71, 51b, 6x4, 2x6) and Mohammad Nawaz (42, 20b, 6x4, 2x6) put Pakistan on the right track. Southpaw Nawaz, promoted up the order to tackle leg-spinners Ravi Bishnoi and Yuzvendra Chahal, smacked it around.
Pakistan was in cruise control when the duo was in action. It took a clever slower ball from Bhuvneshwar Kumar to remove Nawaz. In the next over, India was back in the contest after Rizwan holed out to long-off.
