17.6: Hardik Pandya to Usman Tariq, OUT! CASTLED! All over for Pakistan. India win by 61 runs and book their place in the Super 8 stage! Hardik keeps the stumps in play with a length ball, Tariq exposes all three stumps and stays leg side of the ball. He hangs his bat out away from his body to cover the line. He plays down the wrong line as the ball goes past the outside edge and clatters into the top of the middle pole. With this massive defeat, Pakistan slip down to third in the standings in Group A, below USA, with a net run rate of -0.403, while USA's reads a healthy +0.788!

17.5: Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, Across off, into the deck, Afridi flat-bats it to long on for a single.

0
17.4: Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, A full toss at pace, on leg, Shaheen Afridi backs away and slaps it down to long on for a single.

0
17.3: Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, Short ball, outside off, zipping through with bounce. Shaheen Afridi is beaten by pace and fails to connect with the pull.

6
17.2: Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, DROPPED, SIX! Kuldeep Yadav tips it over the ropes. That will only add to the frustration of Hardik Pandya. On top of off, on a back of a length. Afridi has a big swing across the line. Skies it towards wide long on, where Kuldeep runs to his left and stays side on to take the catch. Ends up palming it over the boundary cushions and Hardik is not pleased one bit.

0
17.1: Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, Chance? Hardik Pandya is not happy with Ishan Kishan. Was there a glove? Into the surface, around leg, Afridi swings across the pull. The ball sneaks under his bat and the gloves. It goes low towards Ishan, who fails to pouch it. The ball pops out of his gloves. The UltraEdge shows a scratch when the ball is next to the glove.

1WD
17.1: Hardik Pandya to Shaheen Afridi, Wide! Hardik spots Afridi backing away and he follows him with a short ball. This slips down leg, Afridi ducks under it.

1
16.6: Rinku Singh to Shaheen Afridi, Full and in front of the stumps, Shaheen crouches a bit and drills it to long on for one.

0
16.5: Rinku Singh to Shaheen Afridi, Full and outside off. Shaheen stays leg side of it and works it to wide long on. Denies the single.

0
16.4: Rinku Singh to Shaheen Afridi, BEATEN! Full and outside off. Shaheen makes room, lunges forward and looks to play a lofted shot. Loses his shape as he swings too hard, fails to get underneath it, and gets beaten on the outside edge.

4
16.3: Rinku Singh to Shaheen Afridi, FOUR! Gets it away! Full and at the sticks, Afridi walks across his stumps and has an ungainly swipe across the line. Gets more of an inside edge and it races behind square leg for a four.

0
16.2: Rinku Singh to Shaheen Afridi, Darted in at the pads, on a length, Afridi clears the front leg and attempts the slog sweep but misses and wears it on the pads.

4
16.1: Rinku Singh to Shaheen Afridi, FOUR! Hammered! Drops it short, on off, Shaheen Afridi gets the width to free his arms and he spanks it to the right of long off for a four. 100 comes up for Pakistan.

15.6: Varun Chakaravarthy to Usman Tariq, On off, pushed through, Usman Tariq lets it be.

0
15.5: Varun Chakaravarthy to Usman Tariq, Rapped on the pads! There is a stifled appeal for LBW. Not given by the umpire. This looks high and seems to be sliding down leg. Suryakumar Yadav wants to take a chance with it being the hat-trick ball. He takes the review with a couple of seconds left on the timer. Slanting into the right-hander, on a nagging length. There is a tentative prod by Tariq, but fails to bring his bat out in front. Gets hit on the flap of the front pad. The Ball Tracking shows that the ball will miss the leg stump, both on height as well as line.

0
15.4: Varun Chakaravarthy to Abrar Ahmed, OUT! PLUMB IN FRONT! Kumar Dharmasena nods before raising the finger. Chakaravarthy is on a hat-trick! Abrar Ahmed reviews, more in hope than anything else. Googly from Chakaravarthy, on a length, on middle. Abrar does not pick the wrong 'un, neither from the hand nor off the surface. He is caught on the crease and just hangs his bat out to cover the line. The ball lands and comes back in to go past the inside edge and hits him on the pads. No bat involved and the Ball Tracking shows three reds with the ball crashing into the middle stump.

0
15.3: Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, OUT! IN THE AIR AND GONE! If there was any hope left for Pakistan, that should be it. Flatter and shorter, on middle. Faheem rocks on the back foot for the pull but only gets the height and not the distance. It goes only as far as deep mid-wicket, where Rinku Singh runs in off the ropes and gobbles it up. Pakistan are 97/8.

2
15.2: Varun Chakaravarthy to Faheem Ashraf, From around the wicket for Faheem, googly, on a length, on middle. Faheem drops on a knee and sweeps it between deep mid-wicket and deep square leg for a couple of runs.

1
15.1: Varun Chakaravarthy to Shaheen Afridi, Sliding across off, full in length, Shaheen Afridi has a big swipe across the line. Miscues it down the ground to long on for a single.

19.6: Shaheen Afridi to Axar Patel, OUT! CAUGHT! Not the best of balls by Shaheen, as this is full and outside off, with a slight pace taken off. Axar Patel swings across to slog it over deep mid-wicket, but his bat turns at the point of contact and goes only as far as deep mid-wicket. Saim Ayub runs in off the ropes and tumbles across to his left to pluck the catch. INDIA FINISH AT 175/7, with 16 runs coming from the final over.

1
19.5: Shaheen Afridi to Rinku Singh, OUT! SHIVAM DUBE IS RUN OUT! A big mix-up between the batters and Shivam pays the price. Back of a length outside off, Rinku throws his hands at it and slices it out to sweeper cover. Nawaz collects it on the bounce as the batters complete a single. Dube looks for a second and sets off, but Rinku is hesitant at the other end, which forces Dube to retreat. Nawaz fires in a throw to the keeper, where Usman whips off the bails with Shivam out by a fair bit. Dube is fuming, he isn't impressed there as Rinku turned down the second after showing interest initially.

6
19.4: Shaheen Afridi to Rinku Singh, SIX! The move to close the innings out with Shaheen Afridi is proving expensive. 15 runs off the over with two balls to go. Angled in the slot, on middle. Rinku crouches to get under the ball and clubs it over deep square leg for a biggie. With two left-handers at the crease, could Salman Agha have not bowled himself? Food for thought.

4
19.3: Shaheen Afridi to Rinku Singh, FOUR! Useful runs for India! Back of a length, but with a lot of width offered by Afridi. Rinku Singh gets to free his arms and smacks it over point for a cracking boundary.

1
19.2: Shaheen Afridi to Shivam Dube, Pace off, on a length, outside off, Shivam Dube hangs back and punches it to long off for a single.

4
19.1: Shaheen Afridi to Shivam Dube, FOUR! SMASHED! Shaheen goes full and on middle and leg, Shivam Dube uses his bottom hand and bludgeons it straight down the ground. And before anyone could move a muscle, the ball races away to the fence.

18.6: Usman Tariq to Rinku Singh, Pushed flatter and fuller, at 79.3 kph, in front of the sticks, Rinku Singh sits down to sweep, but the ball goes straight to the bowler off the bottom end.

0
18.5: Usman Tariq to Suryakumar Yadav, OUT! TAKEN! Tariq breaks the 33-run partnership. Tossed up on a length around middle and off. Suryakumar Yadav goes for the slog sweep, but there’s no pace to work with. He gets under it nicely but fails to generate enough power to get the distance. Ayub, positioned a few yards inside the boundary, completes a comfortable catch at deep mid-wicket with a reverse cup.

0
18.4: Usman Tariq to Suryakumar Yadav, Swing and a miss! A leg break, on a fullish length just outside off, SKY shuffles towards the off side. He swipes at it and misses, getting struck on the pad.

0
18.3: Usman Tariq to Shivam Dube, Very slow through the air, on a length, coming in with the arm and staying low. Shivam Dube tries to pull, but the ball skids and beats the inside edge to rap him on the thigh pad. The ball then rolls wide of square leg and the batters take a leg bye.

4
18.2: Usman Tariq to Shivam Dube, FOUR! CLUBBED! Slider into the batter, full in length, Shivam Dube picks the length nicely and shimmies down the track before pumping it over the bowler for a boundary down the ground.

0
18.1: Usman Tariq to Shivam Dube, Nearly dragged on! A round-arm delivery, bowled really slow, fullish and on off, Shivam Dube goes for the cut, but the ball goes off the inside edge and deflects off his back boot and rolls past the stumps.

17.6: Abrar Ahmed to Shivam Dube, Aimed at the pads, on a length, Shivam Dube nudges it off the back foot to deep mid-wicket for a single. Another expensive over from Abrar. 14 from it. His figures read 3-0-38-0 so far.

6
17.5: Abrar Ahmed to Shivam Dube, SIX! MUSCLED! Not that short by Ahmed, just outside off, Shivam Dube brings his long levers into play, stands tall and blasts it massively over deep mid-wicket for an enormous six. 150 up for India!

1
17.4: Abrar Ahmed to Suryakumar Yadav, Full and quick, on the fourth stump, Suryakumar Yadav leans on and drives it to deep cover for a single.

1
17.3: Abrar Ahmed to Shivam Dube, Round-armish, on a length, on middle, Shivam Dube pulls it on the bounce to Saim Ayub at deep mid-wicket for a single.

1
17.2: Abrar Ahmed to Suryakumar Yadav, A bit quicker and fuller, on the pads, Suryakumar Yadav whips off the pads to deep mid-wicket for a run.

4
17.1: Abrar Ahmed to Suryakumar Yadav, FOUR! Top drawer shot! Abrar lands it on a length, and it spins away from middle. Suryakumar Yadav waits for it on the back foot and whips it perfectly between long on and deep mid-wicket for a boundary.
