INDIA THRASH PAKISTAN BY 61 RUNS
India trounce Pakistan; qualify for Super 8s
Pakistan 114-all out (18 ovs) vs India 175-7
Pakistan need 70 from the last three overs. India bring back Hardik, who starts with a wide as the bouncer to Afridi is down the leg side.
Afridi charges down the track but misses the short ball down the ground. There seems to be some glove on it but Kishan has failed to catch the ball and Hardik is unhappy with his wicketkeeper, who seems to have taken it too casually.
Afridi then swings the next ball over the leg side as Kuldeep running to his left at long-on ends up not only dropping the catch but also pushes the ball over the ropes to concede a six.
Hardik seething with anger, gesturing to Kishan that his dropped catch resulted in that six, before he also shows his frustration towards Kuldeep.
Afridi pulls the fifth ball to deep midwicket for a single.
Hardik finishes off the match in grand style as he cleans up Usman Tariq with a full straight delivery which crashes into the middle stump.
Pakistan are bowled out for 114 in 18 overs, as India register a thumping 61-run victory.
Hardik finishes with excellent figures of 2/16 in three overs, including a wicket maiden, while Bumrah, Axar and Chakravarthy also picked two wickets in a superb bowling performance.
Pakistan 106-9 (17 ovs) vs India 175-7
Off-spinner Rinku Singh comes into the attack despite Bumrah and Hardik having a few overs in hand.
Afridi backs away to hammer the spinner through the covers for a four to take Pakistan past 100.
Two balls later Afridi swings across the line but the ball goes off the inside half behind square on the leg side for another boundary.
He swings hard but it goes on the bounce to long-on before he gets a single off the last ball to keep strike.
Pakistan 97-9 (16 ovs) vs India 175-7
Chakravarthy comes back into the attack. Pakistan's hopes are all but over as the dangerous Faheem is caught at deep midwicket by Rinku.
Faheem walks back after a struggling 10 from 14 balls as Pakistan slip to a lowly 97/8 in 15.3 overs.
Chakravarthy strikes again next ball. Abrar Ahmed is beaten all ends up by the googly to be trapped leg before wicket. The review is taken but to no use as Pakistan lose their ninth wicket.
Chakravarthy on a hat-trick!
All the fielders are called into the circle, including one at slip.
Nearly a hat-trick as Tariq Usman is beaten and hit on the pads but the ball looks to be going down.
Suryakumar takes the review after a chat with his players. The ball has hit high on the pads and is going over the stumps as India lost the review.
Tariq offers no shot to the last ball to end a good over from Chakravarthy.
India's spinners leave Pakistan in a mess
Pakistan 94-7 (15 ovs) vs India 175-7
Varma misses out on another wicket in his second over. Afridi miscues the lofted shot looking to hit it straight back as the ball goes high.
Varma calls for the catch as he runs back but puts down a simple catch -- his second drop of the game.
Varma doing an excellent job with the ball though as he concedes just five runs in his second over.
The game is slipping away from Pakistan's grasp as they struggle on 94/7 in 15 overs.
They need 82 from the last five over as the asking rate goes above 16.
