Pakistan cricketer Shan Masood has claimed that a lot of things went in India's favour when the two teams square-off in the T20 World Cup Super 12 match.

Pakistan, currently third in the wide-open Group 2 table, can advance if India lose to Zimbabwe in the last league match on Sunday. They are also in if South Africa lose their clash against the Netherlands or the match is a washout.

Shan Masood went for a big hit and the ball collided with the cable holding the spidercam. It could have been an easy catch in the deep by Virat Kohli if the ball had not changed direction after coming in contact with the cable.
