Bhuvneshwar to Naseem Shah, out Lbw!! 135kph, another lbw appeal, umpire Ruchira Palliyaguruge raises his finger. And we have another review. Just like Shadab Khan, Naseem is beaten on the inside edge. Will height save the debutant? No. It’s umpire’s call and the onfield call stays.

Hardik Pandya to Rizwan, out Caught by Avesh Khan!! Second wicket for Hardik! The short ball ploy works for him again. 141kph, hit-the-deck-hard ball around off, Rizwan sits and sways away from it. But he belatedly decides to play at it. Dangles his bat to periscope it over the cordon and took his eyes off the ball while doing so.

All eyes are on Virat Kohli who is expected to return to action after being rested for India’s last two tours – West Indies and Zimbabwe. The former India skipper could make his 100th T20I appearance, which will make him the only Indian player to play 100 or more games in all three formats.
Young Pakistan pacer Naseem Shah is all set to make his T20I debut today, informed the Pakistan Cricket Board hours ahead of their match against India today. Hasan Ali has also joined the Pakistan team, after being roped in as a late replacement for the injured Mohammad Wasim Jr, who had suffered a side strain.
After a gap of almost one year, India play a cricket match against Pakistan. The last time the two teams played against each other was a T20 World Cup encounter at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium that saw the Babar Azam-led side come out on top on match day, registering a 10-wicket win over their arch-rivals.
That was the first time Pakistan beat India in a World Cup encounter. And now, India finally have their chance to avenge the loss. Led by Rohit, Team India meets Pakistan at the same venue on Sunday in the Asia Cup. The highly-awaited encounter will also be the campaign opener for both the teams.
