Relive the Epic: India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2022 Full Match Repack – The High-Voltage Classic

Tactical notes

  • Pakistan elected to bat, aiming to set a competitive total at MCG; subcontinent-style batting against short boundary conditions produced mixed results.
  • India relied on top-order stability (Rahul, Kohli) rather than all-out power-hitting; smart use of pace bowlers up front to control scoring.
  • Field placements and death-over bowling changes by India limited Pakistan’s finishing options.

First Innings: India’s Rollercoaster Ride (159/8)

After winning the toss, Rohit Sharma elected to bat first—a decision that seemed questionable when Pakistan’s pace attack struck early.

Key Moments

  1. Pakistan Innings:

    • Put into bat, Pakistan scored 159/8 in 20 overs.
    • Shan Masood (52 off 42) top-scored; Iftikhar Ahmed (51 off 34) provided late impetus.
    • Arshdeep Singh (3/32) and Hardik Pandya (3/30) starred for India.
  2. India’s Chase:

    • India slipped to 31/4 inside the powerplay (Rohit, Rahul, Kohli, Suryakumar out cheaply).
    • Virat Kohli (82 off 53)* played a career-defining knock.
    • Kohli & Hardik Pandya (40 off 37) added 113 for the 5th wicket.
    • Needing 16 off the last over (bowled by Mohammad Nawaz), Kohli hit a 6 over long-on, then a no-ball six, followed by a wide, and finished with a boundary off the last ball.
  3. Iconic Moment:

    • Kohli's "genius" scoop shot off Haris Rauf in the 19th over turned the game.
