The clash on a converted baseball field in Japan was new ground for even these rivals and their hundreds of millions of fans who were watching back home on television. After India chose to bat, Vaibhav Sooryavanshi made clear his intention with back-to-back sixes in a second over from Saad Masood that cost 24 runs.

But the 15-year-old batting sensation fell four balls later for 15. His opening partner, Abhishek, reached his half-century off 20 balls to an ovation from fans that had brought a touch of South Asia cricket fever to the Korogi Park Athletic Stadium. India were aided by some sloppy Pakistan fielding that saw Abhishek dropped twice.

He should also have been run out on 46 when Ahmed Daniyal’s throw missed both stumps and the wicketkeeper with Abhishek stranded. After Abhishek went for 61, Ishan Kishan fell for 20 as the Pakistan bowlers began to regain control. When the captain, Shreyas Iyer, also departed soon after for 21, India had been pegged back to 133 for five in the 15th over.

But Tilak Varma hit four sixes and Shivam Dube (27) two more as the pair unleashed a late onslaught, putting on 62 in five overs for the sixth wicket as India soared past 200. Pakistan’s previous best score in T20 internationals batting second was 208 for three against Sri Lanka in Pallekele and they made a good start in search of their record chase. 4 overs.

When Sadaqat went for 23 it seemed that they might fold easily. Hasan had other ideas, and he began to pick up the pace and bounce of the pitch as he raced to a half-century off 28 balls with five sixes. View image in fullscreenIndia’s Abhishek Sharma bats his way to 61.
