That's it from us folks. Hope you enjoyed our commentary. Join us tomorrow at 1900 IST for Match 5 of Asia Cup 2016, Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka to be played at Dhaka. Until then, take care and ciao!
MS DHONI says that initially they thought it's good practice before the World T20 but they need to read the wicket. Adds that Amir bowled really well for Pakistan and they were surprised to get them out for so less. Thinks that the game would have been different if 120 was put up on the board. Adds that bowling effort was great and thinks that fast bowlers will have a great impact in the further matches. Thinks that all the bowlers are contributing and there are people who can bat and bowl. Ends by saying that fielding is a very important department and a run out can take the game away from the opposition any time.
VIRAT KOHLI IS THE MAN OF THE MATCH. Says that it wasn't that easy a wicket to bat on. Adds that he wasn't happy with himself in the last match as he was going too hard. He wanted to continue the way he batted in Australia but feels that sometimes they need to respect the wicket. Congratulates Mohammad Amir for his wonderful spell and says that it was a pleasure to be out there playing him. Adds that his intention is always to be positive. Thinks that even a good leave is with intent and that counter-attacking is his thing. Says that he just likes to hit the gaps and nothing too fancy. Further says that it's very important to change your game as per the deliveries. Adjustments need to be made and you have to switch off mentally and choose the shots according to the wicket.
SHAHID AFRIDI says that they have played lot of cricket and they should have read the pitch better. Adds that they should keep that in mind in the next matches. Feels that they should have read the situation well as Kohli and Yuvraj did. Further says that Pakistan will hopefully make a comeback. Ends by saying that they need to keep bowling in right areas.
Pakistan were in the contest at the start but once Amir was bowled out, the others didn't create any chances. Yuvraj had a difficult time out there, scoring 14 off 32 balls but thanks to a low target to achieve it worked in his favor. Wahab Riaz gave away easy runs and eased the pressure off India. A low-scoring encounter but all-in-all a high voltage India-Pakistan contest. Presentation next up.
Coming to the first innings, it was Pakistan's batting that let them down. Losing 6 wickets in the initial 10 overs is never a great start and the Indian bowlers simply ripped them apart, bowling out the Men in Green for their lowest total batting first. Two wins in two matches and it's going all easy for India in this year's Asia Cup. Pakistan won't be too disappointed as they still have three matches to get back in the tournament.
India have managed to score a win over their arch rivals. What a match we have had! 84 always looked like an easy target to chase down but Amir's spell was a treat to watch. He rattled the Indian top order and was unplayable at times. It was yet again, Kohli, who batted sensibly and took his team close to the winning line, although he missed his half century by a single run.

OUT! EDGED AND TAKEN! Serves a length delivery outside off, shaping away. Pandya gets a thick edge to it looking for a cover drive. Hafeez at first slip juggles the ball a couple of times and collects it on the third attempt. No Pandya fireworks today for the crowd as he walks back for a duck.

OUT! Oh dear! Kohli can't believe it. Good length delivery on middle and off, coming in. Kohli goes for a flick but gets hit on the pads. A huge appeal and the finger is up. Kohli walks back just one run short of his half century. Walks back smiling though but replay shows there was an inside edge on that one!
