Pakistan started off the game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground by choosing to bat first, losing quick wickets in the early part of the game. However, Iftikhar Ahmed and Shan Masood made a 76 runs partnership in 50 balls, which helped the team to score 159 runs at the loss of 8 wickets in 20 overs.
Coming out to chase, India lost the wickets of Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and Suryakumar Yadav within the powerplay. Axar Patel was also runout later, but Hardik Pandya and Virat Kohli made a crucial partnership to help the team to win. During the last two balls of the 19th over, when India needed 28 runs off 8 balls, Kohli smashed two sixes consecutively to Haris Rauf. Further, India won the game with the winning shot of Ravichandran Ashwin against Mohammad Nawaz. Fans have reacted to two years of this iconic clutch knock of Virat Kohli against Pakistan on Twitter.
