The India vs Pakistan game of the Super Four round of the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 turned out to be a thriller. For the first time in many years, both teams played twice in the same tournament and played close encounters on each occasion. The first game between the Asian rivals was also a nerve-wrenching one. As for the recently concluded game, it also went to the last over.

The Greem Brigade won the toss and elected to bowl first citing the dew factor. Batting first. India had a great start as openers, skipper Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul scored  54 runs for the first wicket in just five overs. The team finished with 62/1 after the powerplay. After the powerplay, the Men In Blue lost two wickets in the form of Rahul and Suryakumar Yadav which is why they could score 93/3.

Rishabh Pant's 14 off 12 balls didn't help the cause and the team was struggling a bit as they were 126/4 in 14 overs. However, thanks to Virat Kohli's second fifty of the tournament, the team reached 181/7 at the end of the innings. They might have scored more if the likes of Hardik Pandya and Deepak Hooda had created some impact with the bat.

In reply, Pakistan lost the big wickets of skipper Babar Azam and Fakhar Zaman and was struggling at 67/2 in nine overs. Thanks to Mohammad Nawaz (42) and Mohammad Rizwan (71), who took the team close to the win. However, their wicket meant that the seven-time winners came back in the game. However, the likes of Asif Ali and Khusdil Shah ensured the team won the game by five wickets. After the game, Pakistan Cricket Board uploaded a video of their player's emotions during the game.
