After Virat Kohli notched up his second consecutive fifty for India to post a par score of 181/7, Mohammad Rizwan also got his second half-century in as many games with a 51-ball 71. But the game-chnager was left-handed Mohammad Nawaz. He was promoted to four, and did his job with aplomb by striking 42 off 20 balls, including six fours and two sixes.
With 26 runs needed from the last two overs, Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali pilfered 19 off Bhuvneshwar Kumar in the penultimate over. Arshdeep Singh, who dropped Ali for a duck an over earlier, got the equation down to two runs off two balls. But Iftikhar Ahmed sealed the Super4 game in Pakistan*s favour with a ball to spare.
