Chasing
Pakistan's 130 for 7, India rode unbeaten knocks from Virat Kohli (36) and
Suresh Raina (35) to complete a 7-wicket win with 9 balls to spare. Catch all
the highlights from the India vs Pakistan match here.
India started their 2014 ICC World
Twenty20 campaign against Pakistan with a 7-wicket in Mirpur on Friday. Catch
all the highlights from the match, as it happened.
Post-match quotes:
MS Dhoni: "A few dropped catches, it would have been better if we
could have taken them, apart from that it was a fantastic game. Rohit and
Dhawan got us off to a good start and have wickets in hand. It is good to see
Raina among the runs, with him around it gives us the firepower in the middle
order. We will have to decide on the extra spinner based on how much dew is
there, I think today Amit Mishra bowled 70-75 per cent of what he can
bowl."
Pakistan skipper Mohd Hafeez: "The ball was not coming up nicely because of the dew
factor. We were 20 runs short and we missed a few crucial catches. In a low
scoring run, we required to do everything right. It is the first game but there
is still a long way to go. Sohaib Maqsood has a natural talent to hit the ball.
He is good at No.5 or No.6."
Man of the Match Amit Mishra, for
his 2 for 22: "There was a bit of turn in
the track there, whenever I get the chance I look to perform for the team. With
the batting line-up we've got, it should be easy to get this target."
India comfortably win their opening
match with 7 wickets in hand. Earlier, Amit Mishra did lead the spin attack
restricting Pakistan to a below-par total. The chase was not expected to be
very challenging and that is exactly what it turned out to be. India did lose
three wickets but Kohli and Raina made sure that they romped home without too
much fuss.
