Mohammad Nawaz (4-0-25-1 & 42 off 20 balls) is the PLAYER OF THE MATCH for his brilliant all-round display. Nawaz says that they wanted to keep things simple and bowl it on basic line and length. Adds that India started well but he had clarity in his mind to bowl on proper length and areas. Finishes by saying that in a high-pressure game like this, they tend to lose shape and they need to stay calm in such situations.
Babar Azam, the captain of Pakistan says that they were trying to keep the game simple. Adds that they were confident knew that they could chase it down when Mohammad Nawaz was batting out there with Mohammad Rizwan. Also says that their bowlers bowled well. especially their spinners. Says that it depends on the management who will be their floater and Nawaz was handed that job in this game.
The Indian skipper, Rohit Sharma says that it’s a high-pressure game and they can take a lot of learnings from it. Further says that Mohammad Nawaz and Mohammad Rizwan were amazing and played really well and batted brilliantly. Mentions that there were times that the game didn’t go their way but it was a good game. Says that they knew the pitch gets better in the end but he is happy with the way the team played and fought. He then goes on to applaud Pakistan and says that they were better in this game. Says that it’s good to see Virat Kohli back in form and his score was crucial from the team’s point of view. Finally ends by saying that they need to take this in a positive way as they cannot have success every time.
The Presentation ceremony…
The top scorer for Pakistan, Mohammad Rizwan is down for a quick chat. He says that this was a match that is being watched by the whole world and the feeling is just like a final. Adds that usually, their plan is to bowl well. Says that he was trying to be calm and play well. Adds that they were confident with their lower order and knew that if 40-45 runs are required in the last 4 over, their hitters can do it and that’s what happened.
Earlier in the game, Babar Azam won the toss and put the opposition in to bat which backfired straightaway as Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul wreaked havoc inside the Powerplay. The Pakistani spinners though made a strong comeback by picking up wickets. Only Virat Kohli had a prolonged stay at the crease for India and the rest of the batters just came in, hit a couple of shots and went back. The Pakistani pacers kept their speed intact and in the end managed to keep India to a score of just 180. Coming back to the chase, Mohammad Rizwan paced his inning to perfection and the move to send Mohammad Nawaz up the order had a positive impact on the game for Pakistan. Only Ravi Bishnoi bowled well for India on the whole and some poor bowling, along with lethargic fielding cost them the game. Stick around for a few interviews…
India will be a bit disappointed with that display with the ball and also with their efforts on the field. They did have a good Powerplay as Ravi Bishnoi got the early wicket of the Pakistani skipper but after that, the spinners couldn’t really control the middle phase as they did last time around. Hardik Pandya had an off day as well which made it more difficult for India. The frontline pacers, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Arshdeep Singh did get a lot of stick and at the wrong time as well. The pace bowling has been a weakness of India throughout this tournament and they will look to bounce back quickly in the next game.
Chasing a big target on a pitch that did suit the batters, Pakistan needed a good start with the bat but that wasn’t the case. Babar Azam fell early once again and it was slow going in the Powerplay. Mohammad Rizwan though slowly but surely got into rhythm and after a decent hand by Fakhar Zaman, Mohammad Nawaz was surprisingly sent in as a pinch-hitter. And boy, that worked like a charm as he and Rizwan put on a 73-run stand. Nawaz got out after a blistering cameo but Rizwan carried on and got 71 crucial runs. The game was then sealed by a few lusty blows from Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali.
Yet another thrilling contest between these two great rivals comes to an end. What a remarkable turnaround this has been from Pakistan’s point of view. Just a week ago, they lost a game against the same opponents in the final over and now, they have ended up winning that too in the final over and this win sets up the Super Fours beautifully.
