It was a low scoring game and i was surprised to see that the pitch in UAE was green favoring the pace bowlers and both India and Pakistan bowlers bowled their heart out and even with the cramps and struggling with it Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf took Pakistan closer to the match and the fielding was overall great even though there was a dropped chance of Virat Kohli which was a difficult one. India took the game to the last over and it was a great nail biter.
There is a proverb in cricket that "catch miss, match miss" and Pakistan suffered for that. In my opinion it was bowling pitch and bowlers of both teams take the advantages. Naseem Shah's performance was outstanding as a first match. I hope he will able to perform in such way around the tournament.

Hardik was an advantage to them and he stayed there till the last to make sure, India wins.
Another notable thing is that the Pakistan team had a lot of talent but they lack experience. On the Other hand, the Indian team was more experienced and they sensibly chased this target. I hope we will see more matches between these two teams in this tournament and it will be interesting to see how teams will change their approach in coming matches.

It was a very interesting match . India played very well in the end and won themselves . i enjoyed this match very much and After watching today's match Pakistan Vs India , I became a big fan of India again .
Pakistan had it in the bag if it wasn't for the scorching heat of Dubai. Whoever decided to organize this tourney in Dubai at this month of the year, needs to lookup climate before making such decision.
Anyhow, I was cheering for India's win too but this wasn't satisfactory at all.

I have seen Pakistan's death over bowling and this wasn't it. India got lucky with Pakistan pacers getting cramped. Their top 2 pacers couldn't even complete the run up. They were throwing wides and giving needless extra runs.

I think now this match is completely in India's hold. One thing is they already just need 19 runs of 2 overs and especially the last over is going to be of the spinner Nawaz because Pakistan has exhausted all its pacers. Match was once looking risky but now it is too much in favour of India unless Pakistan can take a couple of wickets in this over.
Pakistan VS India
A lot of forum members thought that this is a game that Pakistan would easily win. To all of them you were wrong and you will always remain wrong as you are a groupe of individuals who believe in dream.
As usual the match was close enough as expected. I would think Virat Kohli survived his first reat but for players like Surya Kumar this might be the end of his career. Arshdeep Singh was good as Bhuvneshwar Kumar. I think these two team might play again in the Aisia cup, if Pakistan doesn't play the way they did today. In my understanding they were too overconfident.
I am not agreed with you this statement because as we have news about Shaheen Afridi there were clearly things were change into Indian favor and mostly peoples were feeling India will manage to win this match by one-sided and as Pakistan end their batting target was only 148 I was also connivance about this but Naseem Shah and Mohammad Nawaz done good bowling and give tough challenge to Indian top order which still done better, and they were able to win this match in 20th over a good and interesting end of this first match between these two teams after historic Pakistan 10 wicket win against India in T20 World Cup.A lot of forum members thought that this is a game that Pakistan would easily win.

Virat still needs to do for staying in and have chance for selected into World Cup squad because he is still having not enough confidence and were not good against debutant bowler Arshdeep and Bhuvneshwar Kumar both done amazing job for India and restrict Pakistan under 150 which is the biggest achievement for them and Pandya is surely hero for this win with his new-look all-rounder performance.

First innings batting was boring, but the match was full of excitement in the second innings. Although India was ahead as they didn't loss so many wickets, but Pakistan bowlers created pressure on Indian batsmen. All I can say that Pakistan has lost the match for their bad fielding. Moreover, they gave too many extra runs.
Pakistan lost in the first innings itself if you ask me since the target itself was way too small. Something close to 180 would have been competitive. India never really looked desperate primarily because of this small target.Although the target was low, India had to fight hard to win the match. I don't think the target was low which was the main reason for Pakistan's defeat. Pakistan had several mistakes in the match. Several important fielding misses by Pakistani players. It would not have been easy for India to win the match if not for the fielding misses. At the same time, Pakistani bowlers gave 14 extra runs, while India gave only 5 runs. These two are one of the main reasons for Pakistan's defeat.
Pakistan bowling was exceptionally good in the absence of Shaheen and Hassan Ali. There are bright chances that both team may see each other in final.
I could say the same about India playing well in the absence of Bumrah etc, but those are just excuses.First innings batting was boring, but the match was full of excitement in the second innings.

It was a good contest by both teams. Everyone enjoyed the quality cricket this evening. Kohli is back after having a rest and he scored 35 runs on 34 balls, this is a good comeback. Its Ravindra Jadeja and Pandaya who made India win this match after kohli and Rohit got out. Pakistan batting was not good tonight, only dahni was the real batsmen from Pakistan.

Watched a couple of overs but for some reason got bored, every match seems boring when in setup at UAE.
I do hope not every match is decided because of the toss similar to last last T-20 WC, it's going to be pretty boring tbh if it's taking that route.

Too many wides from Pakistan and the drop catch of kohli in the beginning of innings costed Pakistan this match. Pakistan bowling was exceptionally good in the absence of Shaheen and Hassan Ali. There are bright chances that both team may see each other in final.

It was a close contest till the last over. Ahmed Nawaz got the wicket of Jadega on very first ball of last over and that turns the things towards Pakistan. But Pandeya was there so he scored the winning six for India. Overall it was a good match and legacy of team winning the toss and winning the match was not broken.
