Chasing a target of 148, India did not have a great start. Naseem Shah bowled a magical first spell on debut, removing KL Rahul for a golden duck. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli did their best to steady the ship with a 49-run partnership off 46 balls but Rohit struggled to get going.
Eventually, Rohit fell to Mohammad Nawaz for a sluggish 12 off 18. Virat Kohli, the focal point of the match, did show some glimpses of his old form. He played the shots late and was in good position. While the pitch did not let him go bang bang, he did play a crucial 35-run knock off 34 balls.
However, despite playing some good shots, he was dismissed off a poor shot and that will hurt Kohli, who could have taken India to the finish line. Kohli also gave his wicket to Mohammad Nawaz. It should also be noted that Kohli got a reprive on the 2nd ball when Fakhar Zaman dropped a chance at the slip.
Suryakumar Yadav, who played at No 5 instead of the usual No 4 as Jadeja was promoted, also did not get going. He managed 18 off 18 before Naseem Shah cleaned up his stumps.

With 89/4 on the board in 14.2 overs, India needed someone to stand up and counter the threat. Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja did just that. While Jadeja anchored from one end, it was Hardik Pandya who played his shots. It was also a redemption of sorts for the all-rounder as his inclusion in the team in the T20 World Cup was severely criticised.
But on Sunday, it was the usual Hardik Pandya. After a slow start, he took on Haris Rauf for for 14 runs in the 19th over to deal a massive blow to Pakistan’s chances. Eventually, he finished with a big 6 to remain unbeaten on 33 off just 17 balls. Dinesh Karthik, who got the nod ahead of Rishabh Pant could only play a ball.

Earlier, India captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first against arch-rivals Pakistan. But to everyone’s surprise, India dropped Rishabh Pant for Dinesh Karthik. However, opting to bowl proved to be the right decision as Bhuvneshwar Kumar struck in the third over removing in-form Babar Azam. Avesh Khan then dealt another blow, sending Fakhar Zaman back to reduce Pakistan to 42/2 in the powerplay.
While Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed stitched together a 45-run stand off 38 balls, the runs were difficult to come by. With no swing on offer, Indian pace attack resorted to bouncers. In fact, 5 wickets came from short deliveries as Indian pacers kept on chipping away with wickets. In a first, Indian seamers ruled the roost in Dubai, bagging all 10 wickets as they bowled Pakistan for 147.
But before the last wicket fell, it was Shahnawaz Dahani’s 16 off 6 and 10th wicket stand of 19 runs that gave Pakistan a fighting chance. But eventually, Arshdeep Singh got rid of Dahani to bowl Pakistan out.
Bhuvneshwar Kumar was the best bowler of the lot, bagging 4/26. Hardik Pandya also bowled a terrific spell, scalping 3/25. Arshdeep Singh (2/33) and Avesh Khan (1/19) were also amongst wickets as spinners did not have a great role to play. Mohd Rizwan top-scored for Pakistan with 43 while Shahnawaz Dahani played a good cameo of 16 off 6.
