India vs Pakistan, Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, out Caught by Tilak Varma!! Kuldeep Yadav's first 2 overs went for 23 runs and the next 2 overs he's stunned them with 4/7. Even the extremely wise people will find it hard to decode this implosion. Full and turning away, Faheem goes for glory, instead picks out long-off. Faheem Ashraf c Tilak Varma b Kuldeep Yadav 0(2)

Kuldeep Yadav to Faheem Ashraf, no run, oh googly almost through him, managed to defend

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, out Lbw!! Make that 6 wickets for the last 21 runs now. This is called making a proper mockery. Classic example of taking a completely emotional approach than putting some thought to madness. Shaheen came out ultra aggressive. All he wanted to do was smash Kuldeep every ball for six over the leg-side. He moved across, stayed on the crease, tried a lot of stuff in those few balls but never connected. This time he moved too far across and Kuldeep smartly dropped the googly short. Shaheen was days ahead with his shot. Ball struck him in line with middle stump and ball-tracker says hitting leg stump. Looked very out, not given and India got it overturned. Shaheen Afridi lbw b Kuldeep Yadav 0(3)

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, no run, again a wild slog across the line, Shaheen misses and it goes past the off stump

Kuldeep Yadav to Shaheen Afridi, no run, instant review from Shaheen. Excellent googly from Kuldeep Yadav that spun back in sharply to surprise Shaheen on the cut shot, the batter was cramped for room but he managed to get the glove before the ball went further. In fact it never hit the pad but the ump failed to spot that

Kuldeep Yadav to Salman Agha, out Caught by Samson!! This is high, Sanju calls for it. Bumrah is there at mid-wicket but Sanju runs all the way to his left and then had to dive with outstretched arms to grab it. Agha played a blind slog and completely mishit it. Pakistan doing Pakistan things again. They have completely thrown away a great base. But in walks Shaheen, who actually has a much better strike-rate than his batters in this comp. Salman Agha c Samson b Kuldeep Yadav 8(7)

Kuldeep Yadav to Mohammad Haris, no run, 89.1ks googly around off, Haris premeditates the sweep and toe-ends it to mid-wicket

Kuldeep Yadav to Saim Ayub, out Caught by Bumrah!! Kuldeep strikes! Ayub got away with a couple of cut shots early in the over but not this time. This should help Kuldeep's confidence. Not all that short and spins away a bit, Ayub does not control the cut and slices it to backward point, Bumrah bends down and takes a good low catch. India need to chip away at the wickets if they are to restrict Pakistan to a chaseable total. Saim Ayub c Bumrah b Kuldeep Yadav 14(11) [4s-2]
