  • Player of the Match
    Virat Kohli
That it then! The blockbuster game is over. India open their account in the World T20 2016. It was run-machine Kohli who did it again for India while chasing. Lots of fireworks tonight. Do join us tomorrow for a double header at 1500 IST between South Africa and Afghanistan at Wankhede and the second one is at Bengaluru between Sri Lanka and West Indies. Until then, goodbye and take care!
MS Dhoni says that it was a spinner-friendly pitch but in the second half it was easier. About the last defeat, he says that they wanted to play better but failed. Also talks about their bowling depth as they need to have more options while they play in India. About finals, he says that we are fighting for it and would definitely like to play it here again. Adds that they are here to win and ends by saying that they want to take one game at a time.
Shahid Afridi congratulates Dhoni and says that they were not happy with the pitch but admits that cannot give an excuse of that now. On their bowling, he says that they bowled poor and especially he didn't bowl up to the mark. About their performance, he says that they played with all their efforts but failed today. About wins in World Cup events against India, he says that it is India who play well under pressure.
Virat Kohli, Man of The Match, says that it was a challenging wicket but he says he loves to play on such tracks. On the last defeat, he says that he was upset to get out. In today's game, he says that he kept his calm and played well with Yuvraj to come home. On Pakistan's bowling, he says that a seamer bowling cutters is difficult to play. About Yuvraj, he says that he is back and they are happy. About the chase, he says that every game is a bit different and they have to have a good frame and different game plans.
Pakistan will be disappointed again as they couldn't give a good contest to India. They batted okay but bowled poorly in this high voltage game. Except Amir and Sami, none of the bowlers really bowled well. Maybe they missed a spinning specialist on this turning pitch. India will be very happy today after a comfortable win and get those two crucial points to stay alive in the tournament. Stay tuned for more updates.
India have done it again! After been asked to chased down a decent total, India started their run chase in an unsteady manner as both the openers were out cheaply by playing poor shots. Brilliant bowling display by Amir, who only went for 11 runs in his three overs. India smartly played him off and didn't go to attack him. It was Sami who pressurized India by getting out the two southpaws, Dhawan and Raina in back-to-back balls. It was Kohli and Yuvraj again just like this year's Asia cup who made a good 50-run plus partnership and almost took the Men in Blue to victory. Though Yuvraj got out, Dhoni made sure that he would take India home without any further damages by supporting Kohli who was single-handedly winning it for India.
