That's all folks! The Pool C sees India finish at the absolute bottom. Since the top two teams were to qualify for the next round, Kuwait and Pakistan go through to the next round.

Abhimanyu Mithun hit 3 consecutive sixes on the first three deliveries of the final over of the match before getting caught at long-off. Kuwait win by 27 runs to revive their qualification hopes from the group stage. 

Shahbaz Nadeem takes the aggressive route against Yasin, strikes six on the second delivery of the 5th over. But, it's not enough. Excellent bowling by the left-arm spinner. Yasin then removes Nadeem on the final ball of the over. India set to lose by a big margin here!

IND 61/5 (5 Overs)

Bilal Tahir with an excellent over! Just 10 runs from the over as boundaries continue to deceive Team India.

IND 48/4 (4 Overs)

Priyank Panchal also departs as India completely lose steam in the chase of 107 runs. Panchal out for 17 from 10 balls as India go 4 down. 

Another excellent over by Kuwait as Mohamed Shafeeq concedes just 13 runs from the over.

IND 38/3 (3 Overs)

Priyank Panchal looks to change gear as the asking rate rises. He starts off with a six on the first delivery but fails to score a single run on the following two. 

Priyank Panchal smashes a few boundaries to revive India's chase. Just 15 runs from this as India continue to struggle against Kuwait. 

IND 25/3 (2 Overs)

A single and a run out to start the second over. The Indian players aren't as fit as you would expect a cricketer to be. Stuart Binny gets run out at the non-striker's end while trying to push for a double. India in complete disarray

Stuart Binny joins Priyank Panchal in middle after Dinesh Karthik's dismissal. Just 10 runs from the first over for India. 

IND 10/2 (1 Over)

Dinesh Karthik arrives and smashes a six on the very first delivery he faces. A dot and a six follows as pressure piles on India. A poor effort in the field sees his catch dropped on the 4th delivery of the over, giving India a double. Bowled on the 5th delivery as India go 2 down.

IND 9/2 (0.5 Overs)

Robin Uthappa goes for a golden duck! That's not the start the team would've wanted, while chasing 107.

Robin Uthappa and Priyank Panchal are out to open for India. Will the leaky last couple of overs cost India or will Panchal make up for the 32 runs he conceded? Time will tell.

Priyank Panchal gets smashed all across the stadium by Yasin Patel who scores 32 runs in the final over of the innings, gets his half-century to take Kuwait's total to 104/5 in 6 overs against India. 

KUW 106/5 (6 Overs)

A six on the very first delivery bowled by Priyank Panchal. Yasin Patel follows up with another six on the second delivery and does the same on the third. 6, 6, 6 so far!

Last pair standing for Kuwait as Dinesh Karthik concedes 6, W, 6, 6, 0, Wide, 4 in his first over. 23 from this over.

KUW 74/5 (5 Overs)

Surprise, surprise as Dinesh Karthik bowls the 5th over. He gets hammered for a big six on the first delivery, then removes Mohamed Shafeeq, Wow, what drama in the middle!

Kuwait, who scored over 120 runs in their last match against Pakistan, simply haven't turned up against India. After striking on the very first ball, Mithun concedes 2, 1, 6, 0 and 4 in the following deliveries to wrap up the 4th over.

KUW 51/4 (4 Overs)

The 4th over starts with Abhimanyu Mithun bowling his second. He strikes on the very first delivery to remove Ravija Sandaruwan for 7 runs. Kuwait losing the plot here!

A dot on the final ball of the over as Nadeem concedes 18 runs, with one wicket.

KUW 38/3 (3 overs)

Shahbaz Nadeem given the ball in the third over and the spinner is hammered all across the park by Kuwait batters. 2, 6, 4 and 6 from the first four deliveries before he removes the dangerman Bilal Tahir. 

KUW 38/3 (2.5 Overs)

Mithun gets struck for a 6, 1, 1 and 0 in his first over as Kuwait struggle to hit quick boundaries. Two overs have gone and India have only conceded 20 runs. Brilliant from Dinesh Karthik's men.

KUW 20/2 (2 Overs)

A wicket on the second delivery of the over by Abhimany Mithun! Kuwait losing the plot here while trying to look for maximums. India in cruise control in the game. Meet Bhavsar has to depart.

That's the end of the first over, an excellent one from Binny as he concedes just 12 in his first six balls, that too with a wicket. 

Kuwait 12/1 (1 Over)

A dot on the first delivery but Stuart Binny gets hammered for a big six on the second delivery. That's the nature of the format to be fair. And what happens next? The Indian seamer clean bowls Adnan Idrees. Wow, what a start to the match!

India captain Dinesh Karthik won the toss and opted to field first. India would look to bundle out Kuwait under a score of 100 today. A look at the two squads:

India Squad: Robin Uthappa, Bharath Chipli(w), Stuart Binny, Dinesh Karthik(c), Abhimanyu Mithun, Shahbaz Nadeem, Priyank Panchal

Kuwait Squad: Adnan Idrees, Meet Bhavsar, Bilal Tahir, Usman Patel(w), Yasin Patel(c), Mohamed Shafeeq, Ravija Sandaruwan

Hello and welcome to our live coverage of the India vs Kuwait match in the Hong Kon Sixes tournament. India only managed to beat Pakistan by 2 runs via DLS in the last match after rain played spoilsport. Kuwait might not be a recognised cricketing nation but they did give Pakistan a big challenge in their previous match. For India, hence, this game is unlikely to be a walkover.
