Asia Cup 2022, India vs Pakistan, Live Updates: Pakistan ace the chase with 5 wickets to spare

Pakistan ace the chase! They win the match by 5 wickets

The Men in Green overcame a sluggish start to mount an epic comeback. They looked to be behind the 8-ball for most of their innings with the bat until Rizwan and Nawaz flipped the script with some explosive yet smart batting. Bhuvneshwar`s 19 run over at the death proved to be the game changer. In the end it was a cameo from Khushdil Shah and Asif Ali that saw Pakistan over the line with Iftikhar hitting the winning runs.

Just like the previous India-Pakistan clash, this one too seems to be heading towards a spicy, nail-biting finish

At the 18th over mark, Pakistan are 156-4. They need 26 to win from 12 balls. The good news for India is that both Nawaz and Rizwan have gotten out. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Pandya picked up the two wickets respectively.

However, the 18th over from Bishnoi was fairly eventful. It involved 3 wides, an extremely long review for caught behind and a simple catch that was dropped by Arshdeep.

Pakistan are staging an epic comeback via Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Nawaz. They need 47 runs off 30 balls

The Men in Green are 135-2 at the end of the 15th over. Nawaz was promoted up the order to take on the dual leg-spin threat of Chahal and Bishnoi. He has taken his chance with both hands, smashing an unbeaten 42* off just 18 balls. Rizwan meanwhile has notched up a vital half-century. India are in danger of throwing the match away.

If the Men in Green are to win from this stage, they`ll need to up the ante as soon as possible. The Indian bowlers continue to do a good job keeping the runs in check.
