Highlights, IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2021 Full Cricket Score: Pakistan beat India by 10 wickets

23:23 (IST)

That brings us to the end of our coverage of the India-Pakistan encounter. Few would have expected a team of India's calibre to get outplayed the way they did today, as they ended up getting outplayed in all departments. What a day to be a Pakistani cricket fan. Generations grew up waiting for their team to beat their neighbours in a World Cup match, and that dream has finally come true today.

Hope you enjoyed our coverage of the final fixture of the opening weekend of the T20 World Cup. On behalf of my colleague Ujwal, this is Amit signing off!

23:19 (IST)

Babar Azam, Pakistan captain: "This win is a team effort, and the early wickets were very helpful. It gave us confidence and spinners also bowled well. We executed the plans very well. We as openers like to keep things simple and as the wicket kept getting better, we wanted to bat till the end. We will take confidence from the win but the tournament is not going to become easy. Before the match, I told players that we need to forget the history."

23:13 (IST)

Virat Kohli, India captain: We did not execute the things we wanted to. Credit should be given where its due and Pakistan outplayed us today. We always knew we needed a total that is competitive. They did not give us any chances. It played pretty slow in the first half. Little bit of dew helps the ball come on better later. When you know conditions will change later, you need extra runs. Quality bowling from Pakistan upfront. With the dew coming in in the second half, the slower bowlers were not as effective. Just the start of the tournament, not the end, so important to stay composed. Certainly not the stage where we will be thinking what will we do moving forward.

23:08 (IST)

Shaheen Afridi: "First time we've beaten India and it is because of the wishes from the Pakistanis. The plan was to bring the ball back in. It was not easy to bat against the new ball. Babar and Rizwan deserve a lot of credit. We need to carry forward this momentum."

23:04 (IST)

Shaheen Shah is the Player of the Match.

23:03 (IST)

Hard luck India and United

23:03 (IST)

After 17.5 overs,Pakistan 152/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 79 , Babar Azam (C) 68)

Shami's final over also turns out to be the last over of the match as the Pakistanis finish off in style — Rizwan smacking a six and back-to-back fours to bring the equation down to single digit, followed by a single, with Babar coming back for a second to seal the deal. Pakistan thrash India by 10 wickets — the first time the Men in Blue have been handed a 10-wicket loss in Twenty20 Internationals — and end their winless run in World Cups in the process.

Some emotional celebrations out there at the moment, and Pakistan deserve every bit of joy right now for the clinical manner with which they've gone about business today.

Afridi's class helps Pakistan beat India

23:01 (IST)

Clinical win 

23:01 (IST)

Terrific Pakistan

22:59 (IST)

PAKISTAN HAMMER INDIA BY 10 WICKETS! India's unbeaten run against their South Asian arch-rivals, a streak that stretches back to 1992, is finally broken! Skipper Babar Azam collects the winning runs, dashing back for a second run after guiding the ball towards long on. PAK 152/0

22:58 (IST)

FOUR! A second consecutive boundary for Rizwan after the six at the start of the over, this time the keeper-batter targetting the square leg fence. PAK 149/0

22:57 (IST)

FOUR! Pulled in front of square by Rizwan, who moves into the 70s now, off Shami and now less than 10 needed for Pakistan to win! PAK 145/0

22:56 (IST)

SIX! Juicy full toss from Shami down the leg side, probably the result of the ball slipping out of the seamer's hand, with Rizwan pulling it over the long leg fence for his third maximum. PAK 141/0

22:53 (IST)

After 17 overs,Pakistan 135/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 64 , Babar Azam (C) 66)

Babar and Rizwan are doing it with the ones and twos right now, with a couple of wides only making it easier for them. Seven from the over, with Pakistan needing 17 from three overs. Can Rizwan or Babar finish things in style with three hits over the fence from here? They could use the extra boost in the Net Run Rate after all.

22:52 (IST)

Record alert 

22:47 (IST)

After 16 overs,Pakistan 128/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 62 , Babar Azam (C) 63)

Shami returns, and starts off with a slightly back-of-length ball that is easily pulled behind square by Rizwan for a boundary. Two singles and a leg bye added to the total in the remaining deliveries. Just the finishing touches left for Pakistan now, with 24 required off as many deliveries.

22:43 (IST)

Bring back Bumrah

22:43 (IST)

FOUR! Slightly short from Shami, and Rizwan has no trouble pulling this behind square. PAK 125/0

22:43 (IST)

Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya was hit on his right shoulder while batting earlier during the game, and has been taken for scans since. Will that be it for the all-rounder in this T20 World Cup?

22:41 (IST)

After 15 overs,Pakistan 121/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 56 , Babar Azam (C) 62)

Bumrah returns. And now Rizwan brings up his half-century, getting to the milestone with a boundary as he pulls a back-of-length ball through the midwicket region before collecting a brace off the very next ball. Nine from the over. Pakistan need 31 off 30.

22:39 (IST)

FOUR! Mohammad Rizwan brings up his half-century in style, going for a short-arm pull through the midwicket region off Bumrah. The wicketkeeper-batter has taken 41 balls to get to his ninth fifty in T20Is, hitting three fours and two sixes along the way. PAK 116/0

22:37 (IST)

After 14 overs,Pakistan 112/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 48 , Babar Azam (C) 61)

Expensive end to Jadeja’s spell as the left-arm spinner ends up conceding a couple of boundaries, both to Babar, to finish his quota with figures of 0/28. Babar, meanwhile, moves to 61 with his partner two short of his half-century. Pakistan need 40 off 36.

22:35 (IST)

FOUR! Second boundary for Babar in Jadeja's final over, this time placing it wide of Chakravarthy at short fine. PAK 112/0

22:35 (IST)

22:34 (IST)

After 13 overs,Pakistan 101/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 46 , Babar Azam (C) 52)

Huge over for the Pakistanis, one that may have sealed the game in their favour, as Rizwan and Babar collect a six each off Chakravarthy, the Pakistan skipper bringing up his 21st T20I half-century in the process! Also the 100 partnership comes up in this over. Pakistan need just 51 off 42 from here.

22:33 (IST)

Well done openers

22:32 (IST)

100 partnership up between Babar and Rizwan for the first wicket, the former collecting a single right after bringing up his half-century. PAK 100/0

22:31 (IST)

SIX! What a way for Babar Azam to bring up his half-century — his 21st in T20s — pulling over the midwicket region off Chakravarthy! Started slow earlier in the innings, but has since muscled his way through and is very much dominating the Indian bowlers. PAK 99/0

22:29 (IST)

SIX! Rizwan gets down on one knee and goes for the slog sweep, just about beating the fielder standing at the square leg boundary! PAK 92/0

22:28 (IST)

After 12 overs,Pakistan 85/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 38 , Babar Azam (C) 44)

Tidy over from Jadeja with fiive coming from it, including a brace to Rizwan in the penultimate delivery as he muscles the ball towards the cow corner region, moving to 38 in the process. Pakistan need 67 off 48 with 10 wickets in hand.

22:24 (IST)

After 11 overs,Pakistan 80/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 35 , Babar Azam (C) 43)

The runs continue to flow on the other side of the drinks break even as Kohli brings Bumrah into the attack, with nine coming off it including a boundary to Babar off the second ball as he lofts the ball over mid off. Pakistan need 72 off 54 from here.

22:21 (IST)

FOUR! Lofted over mid off by Babar off Bumrah! Fourth boundary for the Pakistan skipper! PAK 77/0

22:17 (IST)

After 10 overs,Pakistan 71/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 35 , Babar Azam (C) 34)

Babar slashes hard at a short, wide delivery from Chakravarthy to get a thick edge that sends the ball running away to the third man fence. The Pakistan skipper then darts back to the non-striker’s end two balls later to help Rizwan complete a double, making it back in the nick of time. Rizwan too escapes a run out scare while collecting a quick single in the fourth delivery. Nine from the over.

Pakistan cruising at the halfway stage in the chase, needing another 81 off 60 with all 10 wickets intact.

22:13 (IST)

FOUR! Babar slashes hard at a wide delivery from Chakravarthy, and ends up putting the ball out of short third man's reach as the ball rolls away to the fence. PAK 66/0
 

22:12 (IST)

After 9 overs,Pakistan 62/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 32 , Babar Azam (C) 28)

Single off each of the first three deliveries of this over. Jadeja spots Babar charing down the track in the fourth ball, and shortens his length right away to catch him off guard. Just when a bit of pressure was starting to build on the Pakistanis, Babar deposits the ball in the stands beyond the midwicket fence, collecting his first six, before collecting a single to retain the strike. 10 from the over. Partnership worth 62 right now.

22:11 (IST)

SIX! Babar rocks back and smokes the length ball from Jadeja over the midwicket fence for his first six! PAK 61/0

22:10 (IST)

Dew disaster 

22:09 (IST)

Stat alert! 

22:08 (IST)

After 8 overs,Pakistan 52/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 30 , Babar Azam (C) 20)

Chakravarthy’s back. The towels are starting to come out quite frequently right now with dew starting to set in, and making it slightly difficult for the spinners to grip the ball. Rizwan and Babar continue to nudge the ball around for singles, with the fifty partnership coming up in the fourth delivery of this over. Six from the over, including a wide.

22:07 (IST)

Fifty partnership up between Rizwan and Babar for the first wicket, the former collecting a single in the eighth over to complete the milestone. Rizwan has played the aggressor so far in the innings. Has come at nearly run-a-ball, with the pair consuming 48 balls so far. PAK 50/0

22:04 (IST)

After 7 overs,Pakistan 46/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 27 , Babar Azam (C) 18)

Ravindra Jadeja brought into the attack right away after the powerplay. Tidy start to the left-arm spinner’s spell as he gives away just three singles from it. Both batters looking well settled at the moment, flourishing particularly against pace. Can spin do the trick for the Men in Blue?

22:04 (IST)

India need wickets

22:01 (IST)

After 6 overs,Pakistan 43/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 25 , Babar Azam (C) 17)

Bhuvneshwar’s back. Starts off with a wide down the leg side. Rizwan then works a slower ball behind square on the leg side, getting enough time to come back for a second. Single off each of the next two balls. Rizwan and Babar then keep the scoreboard ticking with a single off each of the next three balls. Babar clips a length ball through midwicket for a brace off the fifth, followed by a dot. Excellent powerplay for the Pakistanis with 43 coming off it, with the two openers still at the crease. India, in contrast were 36/3. The Men in Blue desperately need a wicket or two at this stage if they are to stay in the hunt.

21:55 (IST)

After 5 overs,Pakistan 35/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 21 , Babar Azam (C) 14)

Ishan Kishan’s on the field at the moment, and it looks like Hardik Pandya has had to leave the field for a bit. Meanwhile, Shami’s back, replacing Bumrah as Kohli continues to shuffle his bowlers around. Pressure back on the Indians in this over as Babar and Rizwan collect a boundary each, with Shami proving too expensive for Kohli at the moment. The two openers are going nicely at the moment, with one more over left in the powerplay.

21:53 (IST)

FOUR! Shami leaking too many runs at this stage. A touch short, and Rizwan adjusts beautifully for the short-arm pull through square leg. PAK 34/0

21:52 (IST)

FOUR! Full and aimed at his pads, Babar lofts this towards the cow corner fence with ease to move to double figures! Much needed just when some pressure was starting to build. PAK 29/0

21:51 (IST)

Good over indeed! 

21:51 (IST)

After 4 overs,Pakistan 24/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 15 , Babar Azam (C) 9)

Spin introduced early with Chakravarthy, preferred ahead of Ashwin, replacing Shami. Some sharp fielding on display from the Indians in this over as they leap around to stop the singles, and build pressure on the two openers. Loud appeal for LBW off the last ball against Babar, but he was struck quite high on the pad. Excellent over to start things off for Chakravarthy, with just two coming from it.

21:46 (IST)

After 3 overs,Pakistan 22/0 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 14 , Babar Azam (C) 8)

Kohli turns to Bumrah, who replaces Bhuvneshwar after that expensive first over. Rizwan collects a single at the start of the over followed by a couple of dots. Babar clips the ball through midwicket off the fourth, coming back for a third as SKY saves a boundary in the deep. Ends the over with a sharp yorker to Babar. Four from the over.

Some emotional celebrations out there at the moment, and Pakistan deserve every bit of joy right now for the clinical manner with which they’ve gone about business today.

Preview: India and Pakistan renew their high-profile but one-sided cricket rivalry on Sunday in a T20 World Cup blockbuster watched by hundreds of millions of fans across the globe.

Virat Kohli's India have beaten Pakistan in all of their 12 matches at the T20 and 50-over World Cups.

Pakistan, however, go into the contest with 10 wins in a row in the United Arab Emirates, their home away from home for most of the last decade.

It will be the first time the two nations have clashed since the 50-over World Cup in 2019.

Of the 12 World Cup losses for Pakistan, five have been at the T20 tournament.

Two were at the inaugural event in 2007 — a group game decided by a 'bowl-out' and a five-run loss in the final.

"To be honest, what has passed is beyond us," said Pakistan captain Babar Azam on Saturday.

"Records are meant to be broken."

The tickets for the match in Dubai were sold out within hours of going on sale after the UAE government allowed a 70 percent crowd for World Cup matches in a relaxation of the Covid-19 restrictions.

The South Asian nuclear rivals have only played in multi-national events like World Cups and the Champions Trophy as strained relations have stalled bilateral cricket since 2007.

Pakistan did tour India in 2012 for five limited-over matches but ties were not fully resumed as the two nations continued to be at loggerheads over multiple issues, with the disputed region of Kashmir and terrorism heading the list.

'Full of intensity'

"The matches between Pakistan and India are always full of intensity so we need to perform well in all three departments of the game," said Babar, who has two T20 International centuries to his name in 2021.

India and 2009 champions Pakistan are placed in Group 2 of the Super 12 stage of the tournament along with New Zealand, Afghanistan, Scotland and Namibia.

The top two in each of the two pools progress to the semi-finals.

Kohli, who steps down as India T20 skipper at the end of the World Cup, described Pakistan as being "very strong".

He also shrugged off the significance of his side's dominance.

"These things create distractions. What matters is how we prepare and execute on any particular day, regardless of the opposition," he said.

"You have to play your best cricket against them, because they have lots of talent and players who can change the game."

Babar, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman hold the team's batting hopes while quicks Shaheen Shah Afridi and Hasan Ali lead a potent bowling attack.

India, who bowed out of the semi-finals in the previous edition in 2016, outplayed England and Australia in their two warm-up matches in Dubai with top batsmen KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma scoring half-centuries.

The pace attack led by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Jasprit Bumrah is looking good and premier spinner Ravichandran Ashwin got Australia's David Warner and Mitchell Marsh off successive deliveries in their last tune-up.

Pandya backing

Kohli backed his team's match winners including Hardik Pandya to come good in the tournament despite the all-rounder struggling with his bowling.

"He is getting better in terms of getting prepared to bowl two overs for us," said Kohli.

Despite the anticipation ahead of the game, the political soundtrack is also playing in the background.

During the week, there were protests in India with calls to boycott the match in the wake of recent killings of 11 migrant workers and minority Hindus and Sikhs in Indian-administered Kashmir.

Squads:

India: Virat Kohli (c), Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, Suryakumar Yadav, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, Shardul Thakur, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Shami, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Varun Chakravarthy, Rahul Chahar

Pakistan: Babar Azam (c), Mohammed Rizwan (wk), Fakhar Zaman, Mohammed Hafeez, Shoaib Malik, Hasan Ali, Harris Rauf, Shaeen Shah Afridi, Imad Wasim, Shadab Khan, Mohamed Nawaz, Asif Ali, Haider Ali, Sarfaraz Ahmed, Mohammed Wasim, Sohaib Maqsood.
