Rizwan and Babar Azam are at the crease. Rizwan is on strike. Bhuvneshwar will open the attack
We are done with the anthems as the Indian players are gathered in a huddle. The two Pakistan openers walk out in the middle. The pressure is going to be tremendous. Let’s hope we have a high octane contest. Bhuvneshwar Kumar to start proceedings with a couple of slips in place. Here we go!
Right then, the players walk out in the middle with their respective mascots. It’s a jam-packed MCG as the crowd is on its feet for the national anthems..
Teams:
Pakistan (Playing XI): Babar Azam(c), Mohammad Rizwan(w), Shan Masood, Haider Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Asif Ali, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah
India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), KL Rahul, Virat Kohli, Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Dinesh Karthik(w), Axar Patel, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Arshdeep Singh
Babar Azam: Toss is not in our hands, but we would have liked to bowl first as well. We’ll try to post around 160-170. We have prepared well, and we are ready for this big game. We had a T20 series back home (against England), we played a tri-series in New Zealand, so we are prepared. We have three fast bowlers and two spinners.
INDIA WON!

Mohammad Nawaz to Karthik, THATS OUT!! Stumped!!
Some field changes. The keeper comes in. Two needed off two now.
19.4
Mohammad Nawaz to Kohli, byes, 3 runs, Kohli misses the slog and the ball goes off the sticks past short third man for a triple. Three byes. The Pakistan players are asking the umpires as they want it to be a dead ball as the ball slammed into the sticks. Was a fuller ball, Kohli missed it and the ball ricocheted off the sticks and went fine. Babar and co have a chat but it will be a triple as the call of three byes will stay
19.4
Mohammad Nawaz to Kohli, wide, that’s wide outside off. Pressure on Mohammad Nawaz! That was fuller outside off, Kohli let it go
19.4
Mohammad Nawaz to Kohli, no ball, SIX, that’s a no-ball! India fans are going berserk. That was a highish full toss, Kohli swings it across the line and flays it to deep square.

19.3
Mohammad Nawaz to Kohli, 2 runs, looks to drive, gets it off the cue-end off the bat down to long-on for a couple. DK dives and makes it. Is he actually 37?

Rohit: Rohit and Rahul really need to step up when it comes to crunch games. It has become a recurring pattern now, it’s too late by the time they hit their straps in big tournaments and we end up relying on other teams’ results. There is only so much your middle order can do if you put them in so early
