Bhuvneshwar Kumar conceded 19 runs in the 19th over which changed the momentum towards Pakistan. In the final over, the left-arm fast bowler claimed a wicket when he trapped Ali in front, but it was already too late. Iftikhar Ahmed hit the winning runs to send Pakistan home safely in a nail-biting match.

After the match, Rohit Sharma said, “It was a high-pressure match, which we knew about. You have to be in it every time. Such a match can take a lot. Despite the partnership between Rizwan and Nawaz, we remain calm. But this partnership obviously lasted a little longer and they batted brilliantly. We think the pitch gets a little better in the second innings.”
