LAHORE – A superlative half-century by Mohammad Rizwan and a 20-ball cameo by Mohammad Nawaz earned Pakistan a clinical five wickets victory over India in the Super-4 match of the Asia Cup 2022 on Sunday.
Following the nail-biting victory, the Pakistan Cricket Board shared a dressing-room video, showing the Pakistani players, including skipper Babar Azam, Shadab Khan and others, extremely anxious when the match entered the last over when Pakistan lost key wicket of Asif Ali.
As Iftikhar joined Khushdil Shah after the dismissal of Ali, the Pakistan captain can be seen walking nervously back and forth while Shadab Khan and Haris Rauf sitting on the floor in stress as Pakistan need two runs for two balls to win the crucial match.
Iftikhar ended all the anxiety and stress of Pakistan players as he scored the winning two runs to defeat India in the high-Octane clash.
The raw emotions, the reactions and the celebrations 🤗
