Pak post 159-8 in 20 overs. What a match with both teams having their moments. India started strong with the wickets of Babar Azam and Mohd Rizwan early. But just when the Men in Blue looked to take hold of the match. Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood took the momentum away with some lusty blows against Ashwin and Axar. However, Hardik Pandya struck two crucial blows to bring India back into the match. But Shan Masood scored a fighting half-century as Pakistan scored 99 runs in the last 10 over to post a competitive score. All to play for India now as Shaheen Afridi awaits the Indian batsman

How good was Hardik Pandya with the ball today. The all-rounder bagged figures of 3-30 in his 4 overs. His two wickets came at a crucial moment when Iftikhar Ahmed was looking dangerous and the momentum was shifting toward Pakistan. His double strike in one over dented the Pakistan innings
