India vs Pakistan - Six key turning points of the epic battle

India got their 2022 T20 World Cup campaign off to an exhilarating start, beating arch rivals Pakistan by four wickets in a nerve-wracking contest at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. The Men in Blue gave the country a special Diwali gift on the eve of the festival, with Rohit Sharma and co. clinching a nail-biting thriller courtesy a chasing masterclass from Virat Kohli, who rolled back the years and once again showed why he is considered to be the best chase-master in limited overs cricket. Here's a look at some of the key turning points of the high-octane clash:

I have no idea how that happened, lost for words: Kohli

Virat Kohli was lost for words after leaving the cricket world speechless with his cricket here on Sunday. In his own words, King Kohli had no idea how he had engineered India's epic win over arch-rivals Pakistan in their blockbuster T20 World Cup face-off. When all seemed lost at 31 for four in a stiff chase of 160 at the gargantuan Melbourne Cricket Ground, Kohli thought otherwise and spearheaded India to a remarkable four-wicket win with a knock that will go down as one of the best in the tournament's history. He found an able ally in star all-rounder Hardik Pandya, who contributed an invaluable 40 during a fifth-wicket stand of 113 runs. Not surprisingly, the 82 not out off 53 balls has been rated as his best knock.

'The King is back': Twitter flooded with messages on Virat Kohli's sensational knock vs Pakistan

Chasemaster Virat Kohli hit an explosive half-century as he single-handedly powered India to a stunning four-wicket win over arch-rivals Pakistan with a magnificent 53-ball 82 not out in their opening T20 World Cup game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Sunday. Social media platform Twitter started flooding with congratulatory messages to 'King' Kohli as soon as India completed the victory.

Man of the Match India vs Pakistan: The former Indian captain played an unbelievable knock at the Melbourne Cricket Ground today.

During the 16th match of ICC T20 World Cup 2022 between India and Pakistan in Melbourne, India beat Pakistan by 4 wickets in a nerve-wracking finish.

Chasing a 160-run target, India were found wanting against the Pakistani new-ball bowlers yet again only to get reduced to 26/3 inside the powerplay. Although opening batters KL Rahul (4) and Rohit Sharma (4) had no clue whatsoever against the moving ball, Suryakumar Yadav (15) looked confident whilst hitting a couple of boundaries but couldn’t carry on for much long.

An experiment to promote all-rounder Axar Patel (2) to No. 5 failed as well leaving the onus on former captain Virat Kohli (82*) and all-rounder Hardik Pandya (40). The pair did most of the heavy lifting in the Indian innings in the form of a match-winning 113-run fifth-wicket partnership to put India in a commanding position at the Melbourne Cricket Stadium tonight.

Man of the Match India vs Pakistan today

Having said that, it wasn’t the most simplest of run-chases which can be explained in a couple of paragraphs in an instant story such as this. Kohli, who hit six fours and four sixes at a strike rate of 154.71, registered a match-winning 34th T20I half-century, 29th at No. 3, 11th in T20 World Cups, 10th at a neutral venue, sixth in Australia and fifth against Pakistan, under Sharma and in 2022.

Kohli, who had won a Player of the Match award after almost three years for scoring a century against Afghanistan during Asia Cup 2022, won another one tonight for a phenomenal innings. Kohli’s 14 T20I match award is also his fourth against this opposition and second at this venue.

“Well, it’s a surreal atmosphere. I honestly have no words. I have no idea how that happened. Hardik [Pandya] kept telling me, ‘Just believe, we can stay till the end’,” Kohli told the broadcaster during the post-match presentation ceremony.

Pakistan vs India: Asia Cup 2023 Super 4 match rained off – as it happened

All the updates from the rained-off Asia Cup One-Day International between Pakistan and India in Colombo, Sri Lanka.

This blog is now closed. Thanks for joining us. These were the updates from the Asia Cup One-Day International cricket match between Pakistan and India on September 10, 2023.

• Rain forced a blockbuster clash between rivals India and Pakistan into a reserve day after just 24.1 overs of play in the Super 4 stage of the Asia Cup.
• India will resume at 147-2 on Monday in the 50-over contest, after rain disrupted their innings following Pakistan’s decision to bowl first in Colombo.
• An extra day was a last-minute addition to the Super 4 clash – the only game to get the advantage other than the final – after a previous group meeting between the two teams was washed out due to rain at Pallekele International Cricket Stadium in Pallekele, Sri Lanka.

That’s a wrap

Massive frustration as rain has hit a second Pakistan vs India 2023 Asia Cup clash, but this Super 4 game will at least resume on Monday.

India batted first and racked up 147-2 in 24.1 overs. They will resume at that point at 3pm (09:30 GMT) on Monday.

Super soppers, sponges, electric fans and grass trimmings may have failed to save play the first time around, but the measures will hopefully protect the pitch for Monday’s resumption.

Thanks as ever for joining us, and we hope you return for our coverage on Monday.

Match called off, will resume tomorrow

The match has officially been called off.

It will resume at 3pm local time (09:30 GMT) on Monday and India will resume their innings where they left off.

The rain interrupted the innings at 24.1 overs, with India 147-2.

Play set to be called off at any minute

This is the rain that was forecast earlier in the day. Ground staff will now try to make sure the rain doesn’t cause any problems for tomorrow’s reserve day as it is pouring down now.

Play is likely to be called off any minute.

Covers back on

Ground staff, with their array of tools, make their way off the cricket pitch to loud cheers. Umpires make their way on.

But wait – the covers are coming back on.

It’s started to rain again.

India could play three days in a row

If the match does go to the reserve day, it would mean that India would play on three consecutive days. They face Sri Lanka in their second Super 4 match on Tuesday.

Not sure how Rohit Sharma’s men would feel about that.

But we’ve been told that there is a possibility of play resuming at 9pm (15:30 GMT) if the next pitch inspection goes well.

Another inspection at 8:30pm (15:00 GMT)

The umpires will have a third round of inspections at 8:30pm (15:00 GMT), which is in about 15 minutes.

Electric fans used to dry the damp patch

We now have three fans – the electric kind, not those from the stands – playing their part in Operation Match Resumption. They are fixed in a metal stand to dry up the patch in question.

Groundskeepers give grass trimmings a go

The latest tool used to prepare the ground for play is grass trimmings. Sacks of dry grass are being spread over the damp patches to try to make them safe for bowlers and fielders.

It is hard to tell if the umpires are erring on the side of caution or the option of having a reserve day is playing on their minds. Either way, we wait.

Troublesome muddy patch

The umpires are back inspecting that muddy patch. A bit of stomping, a quick walk and then a huddle.

Super sopper in race against time

Ground staff and umpires have surrounded a small patch of the ground where the super sopper is moving to and fro in a race against time to finish drying up the entire ground.

The area surrounding the pitch, especially in the path of the bowlers’ run-up, looks to be the cause of concern.

Second inspection at 8pm (14:30 GMT)

Looks like the umpires will inspect the pitch once again at 8pm (14:30 GMT), which is in about 10 minutes.

It’s been more than three hours since play was stopped.

Pitch inspection under way

The three umpires are now inspecting the pitch, tapping the surface with the tip of an umbrella. They are also seen having a word with the head groundsman.

After inspecting the pitch, the umpires are seen talking to India skipper Rohit and coach Dravid as well as Pakistan captain Babar and coach Grant Bradburn.

R Premadasa Stadium’s diverse neighbourhood

As we wait for the umpires to decide on the resumption of play, here’s a fun fact (or two!) about Khettarama, the lower-middle class neighbourhood 5km (3.1 miles) from downtown Colombo that is home to Sri Lanka’s biggest stadium.

Khettarama is steeped in religious history that binds Sri Lanka’s three main religions. It houses ancient Buddhist stupas and temples to which monks ferry across the Sebastian Canal to pray.

There are also historic Hindu temples in the area.

And present-day Khettarama is a densely populated Muslim-majority area that now surrounds the stadium on three sides.

It is common knowledge that whenever Pakistan plays at the RPS, most locals support the team in green.

The reasons are a history of affinity between the two nations but also because the Muslim locals have always connected with the Muslim Pakistani team.

Players keen to resume

Players and coaching staff look eager to get on with the game.

They have been walking around the ground, and now Indian head coach Rahul Dravid and Pakistan’s bowling coach Morne Morkel are undertaking inspections of their own.

Pitch inspection at 7:30pm, less than half an hour

The pitch inspection will take place at 7:30pm (14:00 GMT), which is in less than half an hour.

Remember, the match started losing overs since the clock struck 6:22pm, so it’ll be a shortened game if play resumes.

Umpires were seen talking to both captains, Rohit and Babar, while India’s head coach, Rahul Dravid, and Pakistan’s bowling Morne Morkel were seen talking to the administrators for an on-ground update.

Cheers as the pitch is uncovered

A loud cheer goes around the stadium as the pitch is uncovered. The crowd has been urging ground staff to get rid of the blue covers.

A mixed playlist of Indian and Pakistani songs has been the only entertainment in the past two hours.

Officials say an inspection is due in 30 minutes.

Umpires set to check the pitch

We are moving closer to a pitch inspection and a possible resumption of play.

Ground staff are preparing to remove the covers from the pitch to allow the umpires to conduct a check.

Two hours since match stopped

It’s been two hours since the match was stopped due to the downpour.

In case you missed it, India were 147-2 at 24.1 overs at the time of interruption with Kohli (8 not out) and Rahul (17 not out) on the field.

We are yet to hear about what’s next, but as things stand, the match will certainly be shortened if play resumes.

A 20-over chase can start as late as 10:36 pm (17:06 GMT).

Super soppers in action

Super soppers are out and most of the covers are off, but some of the pitch remains covered.

We could have an official update soon as the umpires are having a chat in the middle of the grounds.

Sponges in use – but no super soppers

Large rectangular sponges are being used to soak up water from the grass.

The super soppers remain parked, however. Perhaps there is not enough water to bring on the machines that are known to be the quickest at absorbing water from grounds.

We could be set for restricted overs

We will start losing overs if there is no resumption of play by 6:22pm, just 10 minutes from now.

The drizzle is not strong enough to induce fears of a washout but just enough to keep players off the field.

A classic example of cricket’s relationship with showers.

Some grass appears

Grass is back on display in the squares on either side of the wicket. Some ground staff members are on a walkabout and poke the grass in a few spots to check the state of the ground.

But still no confirmation from the match officials.

While you’re here

While we wait for play to resume, why not check out some of Al Jazeera’s recent cricket coverage?

• ‘Indian hostility’ looms over Asia Cup’s stripped-back hosts Pakistan
• Why organisers think ‘sky is the limit’ for new US cricket league
• In India, fantasy gaming is causing addiction and financial ruin

It’s been an hour since play was stopped due to rain in Colombo.

At the time of interruption, India were 147-2 at 24.1 overs, with Kohli (8 not out) and Rahul (17 not out) on the field.

Shadab dismissed opener Rohit for 56, while Gill was sent home for 58 by Afridi.

India were in good control of the match despite losing two wickets in successive overs.

Champions Trophy 2025: PCB Proposes Lahore As Sole Venue For All India Matches In ICC Event

The pakistan cricket board (pcb) has has picked gaddafi stadium in lahore as a potential venue for all team india matches for the champions trophy 2025 as per a report..

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has opted to propose Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore as a potential venue for all Team India matches for the Champions Trophy 2025 as per a Cricbuzz report. In the initial draft schedule submitted to the International Cricket Council (ICC), PCB identified Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi as the preferred venues for hosting the ICC event in February-March of the upcoming year. The ICC will solicit feedback from participating nations regarding these suggested venues and then move forward with the request.

The proposal to base India in one city seems to have been made to mitigate potential logistical and security challenges associated with their travel. Furthermore, selecting Lahore as the base, given its proximity to the Wagah border crossing between the two countries, offers Indian fans a comparatively more convenient option for visiting the matches.

17 Years Since Team India Visited Pakistan

Pakistan, as the defending champions of the Champions Trophy, secured victory over India in the final at The Oval, England in the last edition back in 2017. If held in Pakistan, it would mark the first time the country will have hosted the Champions Trophy. The competition was initially allotted to the country in 2008 but was relocated due to security concerns, with South Africa hosting it in 2009.

The Indian cricket team has not been to Pakistan for 17 years, since the Asia Cup in 2008 due to various factors, initially rising from security concerns and later worsened by diplomatic tensions between the governments of the two countries. During the Asia Cup held in September of 2023, the PCB, designated as the host, was made to adopt a hybrid model with venues in two countries. Consequently, India played their matches in Sri Lanka.

The confirmed teams for the 2025 ICC Champions Trophy comprise Pakistan (hosts), South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Afghanistan, England and Bangladesh. However, India's participation is dependent upon approval from the Government of India. It will be interesting to see how they respond to this.

ICC T20 World Cup 2024: India's Full Schedule Of Matches, Timings, Venues, Dates

T he T20 World Cup Cup 2024 is not very far away. The tournament is exactly one month away from today. The mega event will begin on June 2 and India play their first match on June 5. BCCI announced the 15-man squad, two days ago, and as soon as the team was out, fans took to social media to show their anger over selectors dropping Rinku Singh to accomodate some of the senior players. Rohit Sharma will lead the team while Virat Kohli has also been picked in the squad. Hardik Pandya, out of form currently, has also been chosen while Rinku, who strikes at over 170 in T20Is, has been ignored.

Yuzvendra Chahal has also returned to the T20Is as selectors wanted to a spin-heavy bowling attack. The team has just 3 genuine pacers in form of Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh and Mohammed Siraj while there are four spin options in form of Chahal, Kuldeep Yadav, Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja. It will be fascinating to see whether India's plan to field a strong bowling lineup can help them win the tournament. Not to forget that India have not won a single ICC trophy in more than ten years.

‘eight out of eight’ teams will visit pakistan for ct, says pcb chief mohsin.

KARACHI: Pakistan Cric­ket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi is confident that “eight of out eight” teams will visit the country when it hosts the ICC Champions Trophy early next year.

Despite the PCB chief’s optimism, whether India will make a trip across the border for the tournament, stays a question mark nevertheless, given the country’s government’s reluctance to send its cricket team to Pakistan due to sour political relations with its neighbours.

While India and Pakistan haven’t played bilateral cricket since 2012, they play each other in International Cricket Council’s tournaments. And Pakistan even visited India to participate in the 50-over World Cup last year.

Mohsin, while interacting with reporters here at the National Bank Stadium on Tuesday night, suggested that the draft schedule of the Champions Trophy that the PCB has shared with the ICC recently, mentions India playing their matches of the tournament in Pakistan only.

If the suggestion has to be believed, it is clear the PCB is not considering a hybrid model, which would see India play their matches outside Pakistan while all other teams feature within the country only.

Such a model was adopted during the Asia Cup, which was hosted by Pakistan last year. But it saw only four matches being staged in Pakistan, while the remaining games, including the final, were played in Sri Lanka.

The Champions Trophy, however, is an ICC event and demands different protocols. Therefore, the ball is in the global cricket governing body’s court and it needs to come up with an amicable solution.

An ICC delegation visiting Pakistan in March, followed by the PCB sharing a draft schedule with it can be counted as positive developments for the board.

Pakistan missed out on hosting the 2009 Champions Trophy and co-hosting the 2011 ICC World Cup due to security reasons, but that situation won’t come into question in the current scenario with the country having hosted high profile teams like Australia, England and New Zealand for full-fledged tours in the last three years.

That the PCB’s security consultant and that of the ICC is the same, also consolidates Pakistan’s position.

However, recent unofficial media reports in India have suggested that the country will stick to its stance of not sending its team to Pakistan.

Mohsin was upbeat Pakistan would prepare venues in Lahore, Karachi and Rawal­pindi in time for the Champions Trophy, which is scheduled to be held in February next year.

The PCB chief said the board has contacted international companies which will turn National Bank Stadium, the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore and the Pindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi into modernly designed arenas with enhanced viewing experience.

Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan break Pakistan's World Cup jinx against India with 10-wicket romp

Shaheen Shah Afridi set the tone for the night with a fiery opening spell in which he claimed both India openers

9.47pm And that brings us to the close of our coverage tonight! What quality Pakistan served up today. You can tell this win means a whole deal more given the bilateral series that they lost in the lead-up. There was a statement to be made, and they did it; all while looking like it might not even have been on their minds. Big night for them and they thoroughly outclassed an insipid India who have plenty to ponder. We hope you enjoyed being here and we'll see you soon. On behalf of Karthik and Raghav, this is Varun saying good night.

Babar Azam: We executed our plans well and the early wickets were very helpful. Shaheen's wickets gave us a lot of confidence and the spinners dominated as well. The plan with Rizwan is always to keep it simple. We tried to get deep in the crease and from about the 8th over the dew came in and the ball came on nicely. This is just the start, we have confidence to build on now. It will remain match by match for us. The pressure on us wasn't that much - we weren't thinking of the record against India at all. I only wanted to back all our players who've been preparing well. When you play tournaments before a big World Cup, it helps and our players came in with a lot of confidence because of that.

Virat Kohli: We did not execute the things that we wanted to but credit is certainly due - they outplayed us today. When you lose three early it's very difficult to come back, especially when you know the dew is coming. They were very professional with the bat as well. Hitting through the line was not as easy in the first half as it seemed in the Pakistan innings, so when you know the conditions can change, you need 10-20 extra runs. But some quality bowling from Pakistan didn't let us get off the blocks. [Team] we're certainly not a team that presses the panic button, it's the start of the tournament, not the end.

Shaheen Afridi: This is the first time we've beaten India and I feel proud. I knew it would be good for us if I got early wickets and that worked out. My idea was to get as much swing as possible. You don't get a lot here, but I wanted to get those breakthroughs and gave it 100%. In my opinion the new ball was a difficult to play, so credit goes to Babar and Rizwan. All the teams are difficult at the World Cup, we'll try to take this momentum forward and make the final.

Shaheen Afridi is the Player of the Match.

Kishore Kumar C: "If people simply throw everything on dew then we should simply give them the match after loosing the toss. It's funny, people not talking about our bowlers inability. " UmarFM: "Started watching cricket in the 2011 WC. Waited 10 long years for Pakistan to win. What a fine fine moment, no words to explain!" Pavan: "Watch out for the composed Babar. A great batsman made but a greater captain in the making. He shouts at the team not to over-do the celebration. He moves away after one selfie!! I have only admiration for him" Samip Dahal: "This win from Pakistan is not just an eye opener for India. It is their statement to rest of the teams as well about what is about to come." Kathia: "Fireworks and Celebratory Firings going on in Lahore. Typica Punjabi style to celebrate things. Well done guys. Defeated India First time in Worldcups, Defeated someone for first time with 10 wickets and many more records formed Today" Asif Khan: "Don't you stay inside if you are in Karachi.. The streets are absolutely lit with celebrations right now!!" Siddhesh: "As an Indian fan it is not the loss that rankles but the manner in which it happened where India as a bowling unit just seemed bereft of ideas and seemed to lack (if I may use the dreaded word) intent. Sure the wicket was a lot easier to bat on in the 2nd half but Pakistan made it seem like a batting paradise. " Yaqoob: "The boys didn't just stun India. They stunned everyone back home too. You should hear the roaring and fireworks in Islamabad right now!"

9.29pm Like everything else, it had to end. India had never lost a World Cup game, 50-overs or T20, to Pakistan, and even the individual results had gotten painfully one-sided in recent years. But now Pakistan have broken that duck, and they've done it brilliantly. This isn't just a win over an arch-rival in a big tournament, it's also a win that signals that they're contenders for the title. It helped them that they won the toss and chased, but to do it in the manner they have has been quite something. While I go catch my breath, here's Varun to bring you the presentation. Good night!

fullish on off stump, clipped to the right of long-on, and that's it, Pakistan have handed their first-ever 10-wicket defeat in T20Is. And they've ended a long, winless run against India in World Cups, stretching all the way back to 1992. And Babar and Rizwan complete it in a way that sums up their partnership. Into the gap, and they quickly sprint two to complete the job

We have word from BCCI: "Hardik Pandya was hit on his right shoulder while batting. He has now gone for scans."

full on off stump, clipped quietly down to long-on

short, chest-high ball on off stump, and this is stunning. This wasn't an easy ball to put away, but he manages to get on top of the bounce, roll his wrists over, and beat deep square leg to his right with the pull

superb. Fullish outside off, and Rizwan steps across and swipes it away to the left of midwicket, and easily beats long-on to his right

Clearly a ball that owed a lot to dew. It's not been easy for India's bowlers to try and defend this.

Nope. That's not going to win any games. Full-toss at the hip, and Rizwan steps across and whips it away over the backward square leg boundary. Not a no-ball, but close

Pakistan need 17 off 18 now. Can someone bowl a 2-run over and inject some tension into this chase? Shami comes back on.

VS: "The way Kohli has utilized Bumrah is horrible. With a below par total, the only chance you have is to squeeze them in the powerplay and get into their brains. One you let them exit powerplay with a decent run rate and all wickets in hand, chasing a modest total, they can play with a calm head through the middle overs." -- You can understand why Kohli went the way he did, though. Try and keep the runs down, and then have Bumrah squeeze them in the second half of the chase. Didn't come off, but it's a valid strategy.

wide length ball, hugging the tramline once again. Not called wide this time after Babar leaves it, and he doesn't look pleased

back of a length outside off, opens up at the hip and flat-bats to the right of long-off. Not too much distance for the fielder to cover, but they whizz through for two anyway

playing with that off-side tramline again. Full, not quite a yorker, left alone, and it's called wide. Seemed to nip away off the pitch and end up just outside the tramline

full outside off, driven to long-off with a bottom-handed flourish

Harish: "Indians will be thinking: It had to end one day "

slower ball wide of off stump. Rizwan has a massive swing at it and misses, and this time it's adjudged wide

wide yorker, and Rizwan misses the reach-out-and-slash

stays back to a length ball on off stump, clears his front leg, and flat-bats towards long-on

shortish outside off, reaches out and slaps it towards sweeper cover, who's quite square

Bhuvneshwar back in the attack. Fine leg and short third in the circle.

DBSS : "On a positive note, India have 1 week to omit this match from their memories and start afresh. Just not their day. Have to appreciate the exceptional cricket played by Pakistan today. "

Ashish: "@KK - nothing wicket taking in India's arsenal, seriously? I will attribute it to dew and good batting equally. The dew made its presence in the powerplay itself. And the pak batters made good use of it. I will still give credit to Pakistan. Shaheen bowled well but then fact is the ball was dry and there was a bit of swing and he placed it in good areas. His last over was a contradiction to his first three. So two sides of the coin."

in the blockhole on off stump, jammed back to the bowler

quickish, on the fuller side of a length, nipping in to hit the pad after Rizwan misses the flick. Going down leg, so there's no appeal, and they sneak a leg bye into the cover region

looks for the off-stump yorker, doesn't quite get it full enough. Gets his front leg out of the way and clips through square leg

full, angling in towards off stump, clipped to long-on

full, just outside off, clipped towards midwicket

With that, Pakistan need less than a run a ball.

short, gets up around the hip, and Rizwan plays a short-arm whip to easily beat deep square leg to his right

Here's Shami.

Shafiq: "Is there any dew effect or is it some brilliant batting by these two?" -- A bit of both, mostly the latter. Plus there hasn't been a Shaheen among India's bowlers today. Nothing obviously wicket-taking in their arsenal.

hadi: "what anticlimax. We all thought this would be a thriller. But this is turning out to be a 10 wicker drubbing. WOuld'nt have imagined in wildest dreams against tournaments favourites!"

shortish offcutter outside off, jumps across to chop into the backward point region
