India vs Pakistan
Virat Kohli masterclass keeps India alive
March 19, 2016
Venue: Eden Gardens, KolkataAn unbeaten half-century from Virat Kohli saw India chase down Pakistan's 118 with 13 balls and 6 wickets safe in a rain-affected match. Pakistan crumbled to 83 all out in 17.3 overs - their lowest ever score batting first in T20Is - after Dhoni won the toss and sent them in on a turning wicket. The openers gave Pakistan a steady start but after that they kept losing wickets at regular intervals and failed to score runs at quick pace with the spinners tied down Pakistani bats.
Yuvraj scored a defiant 24 to assist Kohli after Sami dealt India blows off consecutive deliveries in the form of Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina, both playing on to length deliveries. The 50-run partnership between the two came off 37 deliveries. The win also broke the Eden Gardens jinx, where India had never beaten Pakistan before.
India 119/4 (15.5/18 ov; V Kohli 55*, Yuvraj 24, Sami 2-17) beat Pakistan 118/5 (18/18 ov; Malik 26, Shehzad 25; Nehra 1-20) by 6 wickets with 13 balls remaining
