Mohammad Rizwan and skipper Babar Azam put on a remarkable show on Sunday as Pakistan defeated India by 10 wickets in their opening match of the ICC T20 World Cup at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
Rizwan (79*) and Babar (68*) didn’t give any chance to India bowlers to come on top as the two batsmen continued to dominate the proceedings.
Pakistan chased down the target of 152 without losing any wicket and India looked clueless in their opening match against the rival team.
