After coming to start their batting, Pakistan suffered an early blow in the form of Shamyl Hussain but then they revived and kept things easy. The Indian bowlers were clueless in front of Pakistan’s batters and also ended up giving 19 runs in extras. The Men in Blue came to play this game after a win against Afghanistan but were not able to continue their winning run in the second match.
For his classy known, Azan was given the player of the match award. While talking after the game, the batter said it was a good pitch to bat on and to be able to play a massive knock one only had to battle against the pacers well in the early part of the innings. On the back of this win, Pakistan are now standing at the top of the Group A table with two wins in two matches. India will play their next game against Nepal.
