SIX! Hardik Pandya hammers that length ball from Nawaz for a maximum over deep mid-wicket. India need a lot of those now as the asking rate is shooting up

Hardik has one more. Haider is gone for 2 off 4. Length ball and the batter goes for the big hit but miscues his stroke completely and is caught by SKY at long on region
— Mohammed Siraj (@mdsirajofficial) October 23, 2022
That’s another one. Shadab Khan is GONE! Hardik Pandya strikes now. Bowls that back of the length, outside off, inviting the batter to go for the pull. Shadab doesn’t time that well and plays it high in the air. SKY stationed at long on takes a good catch. He is gone for 5 off 6
That’s the breakthrough that India needed. Shami gets it straight and full to Iftikhar and traps him in front of the stumps. He departs for 51 off 34
SIX! Pakistan are making a comeback here. Iftikhar had hit Ashwin for a maximum and he has now hit Axar for a couple of them on the trot. The right-hander first came down the track and dispatched it straight down the ground and has now hit one to the long off boundary. He doesn’t time that well but gets enough on it. Rahul makes a valiant effort to grab that with one hand but that goes in vain
FOUR! Pakistan are getting back on track now. Hardik bowls touch fuller, offers some width on it and Iftikhar swings his bat and goes over point to get a boundary
DROPPED! Ashwin misjudges that one. Masood had pulled one in the air and Ashwin, stationed at deep fine leg, put in the dive in front but he just misses that. It should have been taken
After 6 overs,Pakistan 32/2 ( Shan Masood 19 , Iftikhar Ahmed 7)
India vs Pakistan Live Cricket Score
Shami was hit for a boundary in that one. An eventful powerplay. Pakistan lost two wickets for 32 runs
In the air & taken in the deep by @BhuviOfficial! 👏 👏@arshdeepsinghh scalps his 2⃣nd wicket as he dismisses Mohammad Rizwan. 👍 👍

Arshdeep Singh has another one and it’s the priced wicket of Mohammad Rizwan who is gone for 4 off 12. The left-arm bowler bangs that short as Rizwan goes for the pull, miscues his stroke and is caught by Bhuvneshwar Kumar at deep fine leg
After 3 overs,Pakistan 10/1 ( Mohammad Rizwan (W) 4 , Shan Masood 4)
IND vs PAK LIVE
Another fine over from Bhuvneshwar Kumar. Pakistan batters are just looking to survive this phase. They have already lost the skipper Babar Azam for 0 and need Rizwan and Masood to provide the resistance
M. O. O. D! 👌 👌

What a start for #TeamIndia as @arshdeepsinghh strikes early! 🙌 🙌
Pakistan 1⃣ down as Babar Azam departs.

Arshdeep Singh has started his World Cup campaign with Babar Azam’s wicket on the very first ball. He bowls that touch fuller, coming into the right-hander after getting pitched around the middle stump channel. Babar tries to flick it but misses the ball and is trapped in front of the stumps. The on-field umpire gives that OUT! The Pakistan skipper goes upstairs but the DRS shows three reds. He will have to walk back for 0 off 1
