Pakistan team showed their dominant side on the field
Pakistan conquered the victory by 10-wickets over India yesterday, in the ICC WorldCup T-20 in the opening game of the Super 12s in Dubai stadium. This victory is the comeback of the Pakistani team after five straight losses over the years against the 'Men in Blue' since 2007 in the ICC WorldCup T-20.
Pakistan started their T20 World Cup campaign with a resounding win over their arch-rivals, gunning down 152 in 17.5 overs to register their first-ever 10-wicket win in the shortest format of international cricket.
Captain Babar has shown an impressive and dominant side on the field of the match that somehow affected the performance of the Indian team. Bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi has also been in the limelight for winning yesterday. The bowler knocked out 3 of the best openers during his powerplay. That's caused a loss to the Indian team. Indian captain Virat Kohli showed his best to cross his half-century. But it wasn't enough to take the team to a total as India posted 151/7 in their allotted 20 overs.
Both the openers played a marvellous game. Captain Babar remained unbeaten on 68, while Rizwan scored a magnificent 79 not-out to power the team to a memorable win, with 13 balls to spare.
Moreover, in the Indian team, despite suffering a shocking defeat in Team India's T20 World Cup opener, the Indian captain Virat Kohli kept his calm and showed the "Spirit of Cricket" as he interacted with the opposition after the match. Former Capt. and the current mentor of the Indian team MS. Dhoni went on the field to congratulate the opposing team on their hard work and victory. According to a press release, the Indian Capt. Kohli has said to deliver their best in the coming matches, and this match was just the start of the event. The team hasn't given up. "We are composed," said Kohli.
