His 42 off 20 balls was one thing that India didn’t think about and there was no gameplan for him as Khushdil Shah and Iftikhar Ali accomplished a deserving victory with a ball to spare.
The Rizwan-Nawaz partnership of 73 in simply 6.5 overs within the mid-stage of the innings had the Indians napping.
Yuzvendra Chahal (1/43 in 4 overs) and Hardik Pandya (1/44 in 4 overs), the 2 bowlers who had been sensible final Sunday, had been pedestrian on the day as Nawaz took each of them to cleaners.
The 87 that got here off their cumulative eight overs turned the match in Pakistan’s favour as Nawaz hit six fours and two sixes.
