Hardik Pandya’s all-around play helps India defeat Pakistan in the Asia Cup

India defeated Pakistan by five wickets in a dramatic Asia Cup match on Sunday thanks to all-around greatness from Hardik Pandya. Pandya restricted Pakistan to 147 in 19.5 overs, finishing with figures of 3/25 in 4 overs. He then hit 33 off 17 balls, including the game-winning six in the final over bowled by left-arm spinner Mohammed Nawaz.

Pakistani hitters were the focus of the Indian pacers’ short ball attacks. By taking the crucial wicket of Babar Azam, Bhuvneshwar Kumar gave India the ideal start. When Fakhar Zaman was eliminated off the powerplay by Avesh Khan, Rohit Sharma’s team was in a strong position. The Pakistan tail was cleaned up by Bhuvneshwar and Hardik.
