Pakistan 186 for 5 (K Akmal 92*, Hafeez 38, Malik 37*) beat India 185 for 3 (Kohli 75*, Rohit 56, Ajmal 2-22) by five wickets
A day before the t20 world cup Pakistan has defeated India by 5 wickets in a crunch of a game. India won the toss and decided to bat first which proved to be a worthy decision. Pakistani bowlers went for a lot when they started the innings but they came back when they took wickets of Sehwag and Rohit Sharma. India ended their innings on 185 for 3 with Kohli finishing on an unbeaten 75*.
In response Pakistan's start wasn't the best of the starts you would have for a t20 game. Pakistan lost their first wicket at 30 runs when Imran Nazir played an uppish drive. Wickets column then soon changed to 2 when a misunderstanding between the wickets caused Nasir Jamshed his wicket. Hafeez was the next to go. He departed on 38. Afridi came in next but then departed on a second ball duck. The scoreboard read 84-4. Umar Akmal then went for 2 leaving Pakistan in despair at 91-5. It was then the Kamran Akmal show began. Malik along with Akmal provided resistance and Got Pakistan home with 5 balls to spare.
After the match Hafeez said "We knew if India could post that total, we knew we could get it if we worked hard. Kamran Akmal was exceptional. The experience of Malik was also the key. He supported Kamran really well. The bowlers tried hard, but things didn't work out for them today." Dhoni Said "We gave a few too may runs with the new ball, but apart from that it was a good game for all of us. It's a difficult choice [whether to pick an extra bowler]. I have part-timers who can be used, and we are a side that is comfortable playing seven batsmen."
As per Paper Its Pakistan's first t20 win against India.
Pakistan will play their first match against New Zealand on September 23th.
While India will play their first against Afghanistan on September 19th.
