Babar Azam’s lean patch in Asia Cup continues after soft dismissal

Once Mohammad Rizwan was on his way back to the pavillion, Ravi Bishnoi followed up with an eight-run over, leaving Pakistan with 26 to score from two overs. Bhuvneshwar conceded 19 runs in the penultimate over, with Asif Ali doing the bulk of the damage to add insult to India’s injury. Arshdeep, bowling the final over under pressure, got a yorker right against Asif but in the end was left with too tough as ask on a very good batting pitch.

Brief Scores: India 181/7 in 20 overs (Kohli 60; Shadab 2-31, Nawaz 1-25) lost to Pakistan 182/5 in 19.1 overs (Rizwan 71, Nawaz 42; Bishnoi 1-26, Arshdeep 1-27) by five wickets
