Superb power hitting in the final overs of the innings from Yuvraj Singh 💪 #INDvPAK #CT17 pic.twitter.com/qtk6tW23Am — ICC (@ICC) June 4, 2017Except opener Azhar Ali, none of the Pakistani batters could stay for a long time at the crease and cope up with the pressure - of the target as well as of the Indian bowlers.
Pakistan were eventually bundled out for 164 for 9. Umesh Yadav was the pick of the bowlers for India as he finished with the figures of three for 30 while Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya took two wickets each. Hundreds of fans gathered in stadium cheering for Team India Bhuvaneshwar Kumar also chipped in with a wicket. Earlier, put in to bat first, openers Rohit Sharma (91) and Shikhar Dhawan (68) provided their side with a perfect start as not only did they blast half-centuries each, but also went on to stitch a huge 136-run stand, thus making them the most successful opening pair in the history of the eight-team marquee event. Subsequently, skipper Virat Kohli (unbeaten at 81) and Yuvraj Singh (53) continued the good work put in by the openers as they too scored aggressive fifties to guide India past the 300-plus mark. Yuvraj was declared 'Man of the Match' for his brilliant batting performance. The Kohli-led side will now lock horns against Sri Lanka at the Kennington Oval in London on June 8.Virat Kohli poured his heart out in the post match ceremony #INDvPAK pic.twitter.com/cqHNPxNoJZ
