Low score drama
With
disciplined bowling and accurate fielding
India summed up Pakistan on their third lowest total of ever on 83 . The
Pakistani batting line up was done by Nehra ,BumraH And Pandya , pandya was the
pick of the bowler with figures of (3.3-0-8-3) however Sarfaraz Ahmed (25) played some shots to get Pakistan to 83.
Now, with 20 overs to play and 83 to chase seemed easy task
but then came the fiery spell of md. Amir getting two wickets in first over and
and 1 in another over making the figure 3-18
wrapped the top order of india. And indian middle order exposed to 4 feerless
fast bowlers on green track , but it was brilliance of kohli(49) and resistance
of yuvraj(14) India lead to the victory
Poor umpiring
A lot of
dicisions were not up to the international level , batsmen were given not out
on bowling of bumrah and nehra . virat kohli was given out which was clearly
not out.
Kohli fined
The
International Cricket Council (ICC) has fined Indian batsman Virat Kohli 30% of
his match fee for breaching Level 1 of the ICC Code of Conduct during the Asia
Cup tie against Pakistan on Saturday
"The
incident happened in the 15th over of India's innings when Kohli, after being
given out leg before, displayed dissent by first showing his bat and then
leaving the crease while looking back at the umpire and uttering some words
that were contrary to the spirit of the game," ICC said in a media release.
Memories of Akram VS Tendulkar
The fiery battle
between kohli and amir took us back to the era and reminded of akram against
Tendulkar, all those incoming deliveries of left hander amir with boozing speed
of 150kmph and brilliant cover drives by virat shearing through gaps amazed a
lot
Comments :
Virat Kohli - Man of the Match: "It wasn't easy pitch to bat on. Sometimes you need to
respect the conditions. I decided to dig in and once I was settled I knew
boundaries would come. Mohammad Amir bowled a great spell. I'm glad to
contribute to India's win. The key was to stay calm and sharp."
Shahid Afridi: "We didn't read the pitch well. We will need to learn not
to lose early wickets. Our boys didn't read the situation well. This wasn't a
160-run pitch. Pakistan are capable of a comeback."
MS Dhoni: "The condition are very different from what it will be in
ICC World T20. Amir bowled really well. Glad we restricted to 83 because 100
plus runs would have caused us problems. We bowled well in the middle orders.
We have a lot of options so that is why we are sticking with this combination.
Fielding was a very important aspect and we love to put a lot of effort in our
fielding."
