These are the questions before the T20 tie.

Time for the clash between two of the best opening duos in T20I cricket 💥🔥 : 

Babar Azam and Mohammed Rizwan - 1540 runs @ 57.03

Rohit Sharma and KL Rahul - 1535 runs @ 59.03

Time for the clash between two of the best opening duos in T20I cricket 💥🔥

Both teams are missing their premier fast bowlers: Jasprit Bumrah and Shahinshah Afridi , ruled out due to injuries. 

Pakistan's strength is it's weakness:

While Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Fakhar Zaman have scored 67.5% of Pakistan's T20I runs since the last World Cup, they have faced an incredible 72% of the deliveries.

Sachin Tendulkar has this to say after :

It came down to fitness of the fast bowlers while put under pressure, though both teams’ pacers bowled well upfront.

Crucial knock by Hardik Pandya to stay till the end & get us over the line & ably supported by Ravindra Jadeja & Virat Kohli.

Congrats 🇮🇳 on a nail-biting win.
