It was another close encounter between India and Pakistan in the Super Four match of the Asia Cup 2022, which went down to the last over and fortunes swung wildly and it swung in Pakistan's favour, where Arshdeep Singh dropped a sitter of a chance against the Green in Men, in which it turned out to be the turning point of the game.
Chasing 182, Pakistan received a major blow as they lost skipper Babar Azam (14) cheaply in the fourth over of the second innings. Pakistan's number 3, Fakhar Zaman (15 in 18 balls) came in next and struggled to find the timing.
The left-handed batter departed in the ninth over after a sedate knock while trying to break the shackles. Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Nawaz then steadied the ship and forged a defining partnership.
The Men in Green lost a couple of crucial wickets in the death overs, which set up yet another close finish.
