India vs Pakistan Live Score: A Virat Kohli special

Another India vs Pakistan game into the history books, another Virat Kohli special to headline the new chapter. India justify their favourites tag once again, while Pakistan could be out before they even reach back home.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: India 6-0 Pakistan

Since Pakistan’s victory in the 2017 Champions Trophy final, they’ve not won a single ODI against India. The record reads ‘6-0’ in favour of the men in blue. Dominant.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Pakistan staring at elimination

Pakistan are all but out at this point. Mathematically, they’re still alive. But if New Zealand beat Bangladesh tomorrow, it will be curtains for the men in green.

Once again, outclassed on the big day by India.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Virat speaks

“When you put your head down, God rewards you accordingly,” says the maestro.

Kohli also heaps praise on Shubman Gill, Rohit Sharma and Shreyas Iyer in the post-match presentation ceremony.

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Clinical India

India were on top, almost from start to finish in that run chase. Rohit started off with some boundaries, Gill controlled the middle overs, Kohli took it over with his mastery, and Shreyas Iyer hit the big blows!

VIRAT KOHLI WINS ‘PLAYER OF THE MATCH’!

India vs Pakistan Live Score: What a finish!

Virat Kohli against Pakistan. A love story like no other. Once again, a masterful innings by the ‘King’. What a knock, on what an occasion!

India are almost certainly through to the Champions Trophy semis!

India vs Pakistan Live Score: VIRAT. KOHLI. 100.

HE HAS DONE IT! Virat Kohli reaches his 51st ODI ton. Absolutely unreal. Comes down the track, whacks it through extra cover and slams it for a boundary. It is a century, it is victory for India.

IND 244/4 (42.3)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: India need 4, Kohli needs 5!

Virat Kohli can get to his century with a six! He’s going to be on strike, and India need only 4 more to seal victory here.

IND 238/4 (42)

India vs Pakistan Live Score: Shaheen Afridi being booed!

Two consecutive wides by Shaheen Afridi here, and that further reduces Kohli’s chances of a century. The crowd are absolutely livid. Loud boos for Shaheen from the Dubai crowd.

Kohli, meanwhile, is up to 95.

IND 238/4 (42)

IND vs PAK Live Score: Kohli 12, India 13

Virat Kohli moves up to 88, but India’s target is getting nearer and nearer. Is time running out for the 36-year-old to reach his century? The crowd is certainly rooting for him in Dubai.

IND 229/4 (41.2)

IND vs PAK Live Score: Can Kohli get his ton?

Virat Kohli SURVIVES! Big LBW appeal by Pakistan. Umpire says not out, they go upstairs, but Kohli has got the faintest of edges. Can he get his century?

Kohli needs 13 more for a ton. India need 18 to win.

IND 224/4 (40.3)

IND vs PAK Live Score: OUT!

And Hardik Pandya is gone! Short delivery by Shaheen, Hardik tries to pull, gloves it and an easy catch taken by Mohammad Rizwan behind the stumps.

IND 223/4 (40)

IND vs PAK Live Score: Hardik on a rampage!

Hardik Pandya has come out and made a stunning start. He slams a four through extra cover on his second ball, and then picks up a couple more.

IND 223/3 (39.5)

IND vs PAK Live Score: Iyer is OUT!

There is the breakthrough for Pakistan. The 114-run partnership has been broken as Iyer falls for 56 off 67 balls. Virat Kohli consoles him as Iyer walks back to the dugout. Iyer wanted to hit it over extra cover but failed to get it over the fielder Imam-ul-Haq.

IND 214/3 (38.5)

IND vs PAK Live Score: Kohli in 80s!

Virat Kohli is batting at the score of 84. India need 33 runs to win the game while Kohli needs only 16 off it to race to the three-figure mark.

IND 209/2 (38)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: Fifty for Iyer!

36.5 – Another brilliant fifty from Shreyas Iyer. He has reached the mark in 63 balls. He started slow but paced his knock really well to get to the milestone. In this over, he took his time as he played four dot balls on trot before getting to the feat.

IND vs PAK Live Score: FOUR!

A four from Virat Kohli and a couple follows it. He moved to 81 with that shot while India race to 200 runs. They need only 42 runs to win the game. The win is more or less sealed for India, what the fans would be waiting to see if Kohli could score his 51st ODI ton tonight.

IND 200/2 (36)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: India on top!

Shreyas Iyer and Virat Kohli have added 89 runs for the third wicket off 105 balls as India are comfortably cruising towards the target of 241. They need 53 runs in 90 balls at 3.53 runs per over. This seems like a cakewalk for India from this point. While Iyer is close to his fifty, Kohli could race to his 51st ODI ton. 

IND 189/2 (35)

IND vs PAK Live: Was it a close one?

IND 180/2 (33.1)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: SIX!

Shreyas Iyer dances down the track and slams it for a biggie. Salman Agha gave it flight and Iyer accepted the challenge. He hit it over the deep mid-wicket for the six. India need 75 more to win against Pakistan.

IND vs PAK Live: Consecutive FOURS!

Shreyas Iyer slammed consecutive fours to Khushdil Shah in the 30th over before his catch was dropped by Saud Shakeel at short mid-wicket on the final ball. 10 runs came off the over and India are crusing at the moment. They need only 82 runs to win the game.

IND 160/2 (30)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: 10-run over!

Shaheen Afridi leaks 10 runs on his return to spell. Kohli hit a four in the over apart from stealing two doubles. This is what Pakistan were lacking during their batting. They didn’t take their chances to score some quick runs in the middle overs.

IND 150/2 (29)

IND vs PAK Live Score: FOUR!

Shaheen Afridi comes into the attack and Virat Kohli slams a four off the very first ball with his typical approach – coming down the track and hitting it down the ground. The mid-on was inside the circle and Kohli comfortably hit the ball over the fielder for a four.

IND 144/2 (28.1)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: FOUR! Fifty for Kohli!!!

A four from Virat Kohli towards covers and that sees him race to his 74th ODI fifty. He gets there in 62 balls. A well-controlled knock this is from the star India batter, much unlike the last one in which he looked really scratchy.

IND 132/2 (26.1)

IND vs PAK Live: End of 25 overs!

IND 126/2 (25)

IND vs PAK Live Score: Gavaskar’s warning to Kohli

After completing a run, Virat Kohli put his hand to a throw made by Pakistan fielder. After watching Kohli do so, former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, on-air, warned Kohli, saying that Pakistan could have appealed for Kohli’s wicket for obstructing the field.

India vs Pakistan LIVE: FOUR!

A short ball and Shreyas Iyer pull it towards deep mid-wicket for a four. A dot ball follows. Five runs came off the over from Haris Rauf. India need 119 runs at 4.41 runs per over from here. 

IND 123/2 (23)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: FOUR!

A bouncer from Haris Rauf and Virat Kohli has pulled it away for a four. The fine leg was a bit square and that saw the ball race away to the fence for a four. With that shot, Kohli moves to 40. He is looking in really good touch. 

IND 114/2 (20.4)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: End of 20 overs!

180 balls remaining in the game and India need 133 runs off it to win this match. While the stats may say that India are on top, the fact that the pitch slows down as the innings progressess keeps Pakistan in the game. 

IND 109/2 (20)

IND vs PAK Live Score: WOW!

That is a peach of a delivery from Abrar Ahmed to get rid of Shubman Gill. It was a leg-spinning delivery that beat Gill’s outside edge and disturbed the timber work. The Pakistan spinner follows it up with a dominating send-off. Gill is out for 46 off 52 balls.

IND 100/2 (17.3)

IND vs PAK Live Score: 100 up for India!

A single from Virat Kohli on the bowling of Abrar Ahmed and there is the 100 for the Indian cricket team. They get there comfortably and need only 142 runs to win from there.

IND 100/1 (17.1)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: Kohli is lucky there!

Abrar Ahmed bowled a flatter delivery and Virat Kohli got an inside edge on it. To the India star’s good luck, the ball went in between his legs and he managed to steal a single.

IND 91/1 (15.1)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: Kohli scripts history!

A four from Virat Kohli and that helps him become the fastest batter in the world to score 14000 ODI runs. Kohli has surpassed Sachin Tendulkar for the achievement. He did it in his 287th innings, while Sachin had reached the milestone in 350th innings.

IND 76/1 (12.2)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: Dropped!

Shubman Gill has been dropped by Khushdil Shah at short mid-wicket. That is a blunder from the Pakistan fielder. Bowler Haris Rauf could not believe it, so is the case with Shaheen Afridi. It was however a great gesture from Babar Azam to go to Khushdil and pat him to keep the player motivated. 

IND 67/1 (10.4)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: End of 10 overs!

This is a good start for India. They have scored runs at a good pace in the chase of 242. India need 178 runs to win from this point off 240 balls with nine wickets in hand. The asking rate is 4.45. Even if the pitch slows down from here, a decent batting effort from India will be enough to chase this down. 

IND 64/1 (10)

IND vs PAK Live: Another expensive over!

Nothing is stopping Shubman Gill at the moment. He slammed Shaheen Afridi for two fours in this over as well. The over fetched India 14 runs. Shaheen has been really expensive so far. He has conceded runs at an economy of 8.60.

IND 63/1 (9)

India vs Pakistan LIVE: FOUR!

A terrific drive from Shubman Gill for a four. He gets into the gap between mid-off and cover fielders for the boundary. This is terrific piece of batting from Gill.

IND 57/1 (8.2)

India vs Pakistan LIVE Score: Kohli chasing major milestone!

Before coming in to bat, Virat Kohli needed 15 runs to race to the milestone of 14000 ODI runs. He is batting at the score of 3 so he needs just 12 more to achieve the feat. If Kohli reaches there, he will become the second Indian batter after Sachin Tendulkar and third overall to do so.

IND 49/1 (8)

IND vs PAK Live: Expensive over

Shaheen Afridi leaked 14 runs in his fourth over. Gill hit two glorious boundaries in the over while the third one went after taking a leading edge.

IND 46/1 (7)
