Rizwan perished to a half-hearted attempt to scoop the short ball at 141 clicks, and one ball later, Khushdil Shah’s lousy aerial cut was comfortably intercepted by Jadeja at deep cover as Pakistan crashed to 97/5 from a rather comfortable 87/2. The India all-rounder returned game-shaping figures of 4-0-25-3. Set a target of 148, India were rescued by Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya who both ran well between the wickets and found the fence at regular intervals to take their team home against arch-rivals Pakistan in the Asia Cup opener.
The moment all #TeamIndia fans screamed in joy! 😍
