Virat Kohli is well and truly back!! He was not out of form, especially in ODIs and he proved yet again that he is the 'KING'

Virat Kohli gets to a well-deserved 51st ODI century and in style smashing the winning runs for India in the run chase yet again. It was his first century since semifinal ton in World Cup 2023 and what an effort this has been!! Brilliant from India!! 

India need only four runs and Kohli needs 5. 

Virat Kohli wants to get to that century now but India also need only 10 runs. Can he do it?

India are 17 runs away from victory in nine overs and they have six wickets in hand. Easy victory loading yet again. 

Hardik Pandya is GONE! He seemed to be in a hurry for some reason. Shaheen Afridi strikes. But India are coasting at 223/4.

A wicket against the run of play!! Shreyas Iyer is OUT!! A brilliant catch from Imam-ul-Haq as Khushdil Shah strikes. But it is too late for Pakistan as India need only 28 runs to win.

Shreyas Iyer has notched up his half-century. Another brilliant knock from him at number four.

Century partnership is up between Kohli and Iyer off just 114 balls. Easy going for India in this chase.

200 is up for India and Virat Kohli has crossed the 80-run mark. He is desperate for that 51st ODI century. 

India are 189/2 after 35 overs. Kohli and Iyer are doing it easily now. The shoulders are looking dropped as well for Pakistan!!

Well, there is no way to stop him if he is set in the chase. Kohli and Iyer are both such players who snatch the match away from you once set. India need less than 60 runs now to win.

As soon as the off-spinner came into the attack, Shreyas Iyer smacked a six. What a shot off Salman Ali Agha!!!

India are 160/2 after 30 overs!! 

150 is up for India in 29 overs. They are racing towards a win now with Virat Kohli looking determined as ever.

Virat Kohli has reached his 74th half-century in ODIs. Excellent shot to get to the milestone!! Can he convert this into a big one and remain unbeaten with century?

26 overs are done and India are 128/2. Runs are coming easily now but for the moment, there is no pressure on India. Pakistan need a wicket here to make things interesting.

Abrar Ahmed is bowling well but India are playing him out there. He has bowled seven overs so far and not taking any risks against him. After 24 overs, India are 124/2.

Virat Kohli is batting on 43 off 52 deliveries and is racing towards his 74th ODI fifty. He is looking in good touch at the moment and has a good chance to notch up his 52nd century.

No pressure at all on India here!! Boundaries are coming thick and fast while Kohli is dominating the proceedings. India are 115/2 and coasting towards victory.

India are 107/2 and runs are coming swiftly despite the wicket falling. Pakistan will have to stop easy singles and then create pressure. This way India will easily chase down the score as even if they lose wickets at regular intervals. Are Pakistan hoping for a collapse?

Abrar Ahmed has bowled a ripper and Shubman Gill is OUT!! A big wicket as India are 100/2 in the 18th over. Can Pakistan make a comeback?

16 overs are done in the chase and India are 93/1. They are in a very comfortable position at the moment with runs coming easily. Pakistan are under immense pressure with this being their must-win game.

15 overs are done and India are 89/1. Khushdil Shah bowled a decent over this which showed it is not easy to score against spinners. But Pakistan introduced spinners only after powerplay which was really surprising especially after the way Indian spinners dominated the proceedings.

Virat Kohli is hitting fours as well!!! What a brilliant innings so far for India!! They are 84/3 after 13 overs and Pakistan are out of ideas now!! They need some inspiration soon or this match is going away from them for sure.

India are 67/1 after 11 overs!! Shubman Gill was dropped in this over while Virat Kohli also survived a close shave as he edged one only for the ball to fall in no man's land. Pakistan will have to take their chances or else this match will end soon.

India are 64/1 after 10 overs and Pakistan are under immense pressure now!! Can they pick up a wicket now? Haris Rauf is into the attack!!

Brilliant batting from Shubman Gill as India are racing away at the moment. India are 63/0 after 9 overs. An excellent start despite losing Rohit early.

50 is up for India in the 9th over of the innings. Runs are coming thick and fast for India and Pakistan will have to be careful here.

Shubman Gill is on fire and all the pressure of the wicket fell has gone. Gill smashed three fours in the seventh over. India are 46/1 after 7 overs.

Good follow-up over from Naseem Shah after Shaheen picked up a wicket. India are 32/1 after six overs. Pakistan will have to keep run-scoring in check if they are to put pressure on India.

Rohit Sharma is OUT!!! Shaheen Afridi bowled a beauty to castle Rohit Sharma with a yorker!! India are 31/1 after 5 overs

India have started superbly in the chase. They are 20/0 after three overs and Pakistan are already desperate for a wicket here!! Who will get it?

Rohit Sharma has completed 9000 runs as an opener in ODI cricket!! He needed only one run before this innings and did it in style with a four and a six.

Rohit Sharma hits the first four of the innings. Not in convincing manner but India will take it

The time is here! Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill make their way out to the middle as the run chase begins. Shaheen Afridi has been given the new ball and the star pacer will be looking for an early wicket as India look to chase down a target of 242 runs. 

With a target of 242 runs for the Indian team to chase down, Pakistan will have to be at the top of their game in the second innings. Haris Rauf and Shaheen Afridi will have to look for the early wicket and dismiss the Indian openers within the powerplay. A cracking run chase is on the cards soon!

"I was taking a chance, but it was not a good time to get out. Earlier, the ball was not coming onto bat nicely. There was swing too. Pitch was slightly on the slower side. We have to take early wickets to put pressure on them," Shakeel said.

Pakistan set themselves up for a big finish at 151/2. But they lost their last eight wickets for 90 runs. They couldn't get going on a slow pitch at all. India's target is 242 now to almost seal their place in semis. Can they do it?

Pakistan have been bowled out for 241 runs with Khushdil Shah getting out in the final over.

49 overs are done and Haris Rauf is run-out. Pakistan are 241/9. They are getting close to 250. How many runs will they add in last over?

Pakistan are 227/8 after 48 overs!! Khushdil Shah is looking to farm more strike and will have to play most of the last 12 deliveries left. Can Pakistan cross 250?

Kuldeep Yadav strikes again!! Virat Kohli takes a good catch and Pakistan are 8 down for 222 runs in 46.4 overs. Will India be able to bowl them out inside 50 overs?

Khushdil Shah can be the difference here for Pakistan!!! If he gets out, then it will become extremely tough for Pakistan. 250 looks distant for now. They are 222/7 in 47th over

Pakistan are 7 down. It is looking tough for them to reach even 250 now!! Khushdil Shah is very much key for them now

Kuldeep Yadav is on a roll here!!!! He has bluffed Shaheen Afridi with a beauty!! India are all over Pakistan now!! 200/7

Kuldeep Yadav strikes!! Salman Ali Agha has been dismissed now and Pakistan are certainly in trouble again. 200/6 it is in the 43rd over. Most importantly, the bowlers will follow now making it tough to score off spinners.

200 is up for Pakistan now!! Their 100 came up in 26th over and have been quicker to get their second 100. 

Pakistan got their first six of the innings in this over with Khushdil Shah taking the attack to Axar Patel. They are 197/5 after 42 overs. Can they reach 250?

Pakistan are 183/5 after 40 overs. How many can Pakistan add in their last 10 overs? They have five wickets in hand. India's death bowling will be tested here as Pakistan have their big hitters in the middle but a wicket will change things quickly as only the bowlers follow after this.

A decent over with 7 runs coming in this over. Pakistan are 177/5 after 39 overs with onus on Salman and Khushdil to score runs now

Dot balls are back for Pakistan with two new batters- Salman Agha and Khushdil Shah - in the middle. Three quick wickets and India are squeezing Pakistan here. Pakistan are 170/5 after 38 overs.

Ravindra Jadeja has struck now with a beauty!! Tayyab Tahir has been cleaned up in the 37th over. Pakistan are 165/5 now. We told you it will be tough for the new batters and with both Rizwan and Shakeel back in the hut, it will get tougher for Pakistan to score runs.

Hardik Pandya strikes now! He was dropped in the last over by Kuldeep Yadav but Axar Patel took a good catch. Pakistan are 160/4 after 35 overs.

No fifty for the Pakistan skipper Rizwan. He survived a difficult chance in the previous over and has now been cleaned-up by Axar Patel.

Rizwan and Saud Shakeel are putting a foundation for the hitters to come and go all guns blazing later. They have put up a 100-run stand. Rizwan was just dropped by Harshit, who ran back from mid-wicket. 

While Pakistan batters are looking to up the ante, the Indian bowlers are still keeping the lid on them. Axar begins after the drinks and he is at his mingy best, giving only five from it. Pakistan 132/2 after 32.

Saud Shakeel has reached his fourth fifty in ODIs. He has played well scoring his half-century in 63 balls but he needs to continue batting as he is set. A new batter will struggle on this pitch.

A good over for Pakistan now!! Ravindra Jadeja has been taken for runs conceding 31 runs in five overs. They are 137/2 after 31 overs.

A decent over from Axar Patel. He gives only 3 runs in the 30th over of innings and Pakistan are 129/2. How many runs can they add in the last 20 overs? A crucial phase of the game coming up now

Runs are coming consistently now and the momentum is shifting definitely!! Pakistan are 126/2 after 29 overs. The predicted score for now is 275. It is 149 runs away and can come down if a wicket falls.

Good over from Shami here! India will have to regain control again to put pressure on Pakistan now!! A wicket is required soon for India. Who will get it? Pakistan are 121/2 after 28 overs

Pakistan are getting a move on now!! Suddenly, the momentum seems to be shifting with a four early in the over. How will India respond now? Which team is under pressure? As for the score, Pakistan are 116/2 after 27 overs.

Pakistan have brought up their 100 in the 26th over. Are they gaining momentum? Boundaries have come in successive overs now!! After 26 overs, they are now 107/2 and Shakeel is looking in good touch now with multiple fours off Kuldeep Yadav. India will have to make sure they don't let the run-scoring increase and that can happen by picking wickets.

Finally!! Rizwan showed some intent to hit the first four of the innings after 55 deliveries. 50 partnership is also up between Shakeel and Rizwan but this is doing no good for the team. Very slow they are at the moment and India are running through the overs with their spinners.

Pakistan's innings is going nowhere here!! They are 94/2 after 24 overs and off the last ball, Ravindra Jadeja's direct hit had created a chance. But the batter was just inside the crease. They are taking risky singles and then too, they are at max churning out only 4 runs in the over. What's coming next?

Pakistan are digging a grave for themselves here with extremely slow batting. Mind you, a new batter will not be able to score runs quickly. They are 90/3 after 23 overs. Rizwan is 18 off 45 deliveries and that is very slow really. Shakeel is a bit better having scored 26 off 42 balls.

Only four runs off the 22nd over!! 41 balls since the last boundary was hit. Pakistan are 86/2 after 22 overs and even though the partnership is now 39 runs, they have taken 76 balls for it. Ravindra Jadeja is into the attack now!!

Pakistan continue to struggle for runs as it is another 3-run over. Rizwan is playing a painful innings here playing on 15 runs off 39 deliveries. Pakistan are 82/2 after 21 overs. Shakeel is not a natural hitter either and the pressure is building on them now.

Only two runs in Kuldeep's over. Rizwan played four dot balls and took a single on the last delivery. They are 79/2 after 20 overs and the run-rate has gone below 4 now.

Pakistan need to up the ante now. Shakeel and Rizwan have added only 30 runs off 58 deliveries and they need to move on quickly. Another wicket here and all the momentum will be gone for them. Rizwan has been too slow scoring 12 off 28 deliveries.

Partnership is building up for Pakistan but they are too slow at the moment. Pakistan are 74/2 after 18 overs. Rizwan and Shakeel have to rotate the strike at regular intervals. Meanwhile, India have bowled well post the powerplay overs and will be looking to pick up a wicket quickly.

Pakistan have gone into bit of a shell once again here!! They were 52/2 after 10 overs and are now 63/2 after 15 overs. Clearly, they should be aware what happened in the last game. 

Run-scoring has slowed down considerably as both Rizwan and Shakeel are struggling. It's been five overs since the last boundary was hit and India seem to be taking control of the proceedings. Something is got to give here!

Mohammed Shami is back on the field for India!! Good news for India!!

Axar Patel has struck gold!! Wow!! A direct hit at the non-striker's end and Imam-ul-Haq has to walk back!! Pakistan are 47/2 in the 10th over and suddenly, India are looking on top after a poor start with the ball.

Babar Azam is OUT!!! Hardik Pandya strikes for India and suddenly, there is jubilation in the camp. It was turning out to be a great start but India have drawn the first blow.

Well, Well!! Mohammed Shami has gone off the field for India!!! He felt some pain in his ankle in the last over. Indian fans will be praying that he returns to the field soon!!

A decent start for Pakistan with Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq and the former has looked good hitting a couple of fours.

Mohammed Shami took the new ball but struggled for control. He bowled as many as five wide deliveries and Pakistan are 6/0.

National Anthems are done and we are set for live action in five minutes now!! India will look for early wickets like they did against Bangladesh while Pakistan needs to start well.

Rohit Sharma has scored 873 runs in 19 innings against Pakistan at an average of 51.35 with two centuries and eight fifties. His innings at the top of the order in the chase will be crucial as the pitch will slow considerably later in the match.

Virat Kohli has scored 678 runs in 16 innings at an average of 52.15 with three centuries and two fifties. Can he add another big score to his tally?

India (Playing XI): Rohit Sharma(c), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Axar Patel, KL Rahul(w), Hardik Pandya, Ravindra Jadeja, Harshit Rana, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav

Pakistan (Playing XI): Imam-ul-Haq, Babar Azam, Saud Shakeel, Mohammad Rizwan(w/c), Salman Agha, Tayyab Tahir, Khushdil Shah, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed

Pakistan have won the toss and opted to bat. A huge toss to win for Pakistan.

Jasprit Bumrah is in Dubai. He was seen meeting the Indian players ahead of the high-voltage clash. This will definitely boost the morale of the team, especially the bowlers!! India will definitely miss him but Shami stepped up vs Bangladesh and would be expected to do so again
