Varun Chakravarthy to Babar Azam
Shorter ball, on leg. Azam looks to pull but gets the bottom edge. The ball goes towards square leg for one.
12.2
6
Varun Chakravarthy to Mohammad Rizwan
SIX! Over the fielder! Tossed up, wide outside off. Rizwan reaches for it and then slog-sweeps it. There is a man at deep square leg. He leaps but the ball goes over him.

Varun Chakravarthy to Mohammad Rizwan
Flatter ball, on off. Rizwan punches it past covers for one.
12.4

Varun Chakravarthy to Babar Azam
SIX! Poor ball and this is punished! Short ball, on middle. Azam rocks back, says thank you very much and sends the ball sailing over the mid-wicket fence. That brings up his fifty and what a knock this has been! The Pakistani skipper has led from the front and would want to finish the game soon now. The Indian skipper, Kohli, on the other hand, has a worried face.
12.5
1
Varun Chakravarthy to Babar Azam
Flatter ball, on off. Azam hits it to long on for one. That brings up the 100 for Pakistan and the century stand between these two. One feels that barring a horrible collapse, they should win it from here.

Good call of no from Rizwan! Azam comes down the track and the length is shortened. Azam looks to cut but this goes off the outside edge to short third man. Azam wants a run but is sent back.

Mohammed Shami to Mohammad Rizwan
FOUR! Runs needed in single digits now! A full one on off, Rizwan drags it through mid-wicket. The ball races away to the fence. Can he end it in this over itself?
17.3
4
Mohammed Shami to Mohammad Rizwan

Mohammed Shami to Babar Azam
 IT IS BABAR AZAM WHO HITS THE WINNING RUNS FOR HIS SIDE! Such a fitting end, his first game as skipper against India in a World Cup and it is him, who hits the winning runs and helps Pakistan beat India for the very first time across all World Cups! A beautiful shot. It is fuller and on middle, Azam works it through mid-wicket. They take one, go for the second. Long on runs to his right, picks the ball and fires it to the bowler but Rizwan is in. PAKISTAN WIN BY 10 WICKETS!
