00:00It's a game we've all been waiting for. India A taking on Pakistan A. In game number four
00:18on day two of the Men's T20 Emerging Teams Asia Cup 2024. The men in blue versus the
00:24men in green. So the news from here is that India have won the toss and they've decided
00:29they will bat first. This is the playing eleven led by Tilak Varma. Watch out for the mercurial
00:36opening batters from Punjab, Abhishek and Prabh Simran. Nehal Badera too from that part
00:40of the world. Very dangerous firecracker of a batter. Ayush and Ramandeep the all-rounders
00:44and then into the pace and spin as well. Mohammed Harris leading the side. Haider, Riyaser, Romer
00:49and Qasim will form the core of the batting. Samadar Afad Abbas will join in with their
00:53utility and variations and Imran, Zaman and Sufian as well. Once again, width on offer
01:02and this time Abhishek takes advantage. This one will reach the boundary. Straight over
01:11the bowler's head. That's firmly struck. That's going to be four more back-to-back boundaries.
01:17Abhishek Sharma making intentions clear. Prabh Simran tees off. That goes the distance as well.
01:26What a way to get off the mark. Gives the charge. Outrageous once again. One bounce over Longhoff.
01:34Prabh Simran Singh warming up in sublime fashion. Smartly done in the air by the fielder. Shot
01:42third. Four more. Prabh Simran is just playing with the fielders in the middle and bossing
01:46around. Oh, that's a great hit. Big one. Just the wrists. Powerful ones. Take it across the
01:54boundary. Another six. And not much has changed. It's going down for another boundary here. What
02:04a shot. What a shot. Using his feet and just opening the face of the bat to run it through
02:10extra cover for another boundary. Again, slashing through. This will be a maximum. It's a four, four
02:19and a six. First three balls of this last over of the power play. Down the wicket again. And a
02:28similar result again. Catch it is the call. Chance here and Pakistani draw first blood. Spinner does
02:38it. Sufian Mukim, left arm, wrist spin. Breaks this opening partnership. Catch it is the call. Has
02:46it been taken cleanly? Goes big. Goes maximum. Goes into the crowd. Oh, excellent. Despite the dive,
03:02the ball will win. Cheeky and effective. And there is a wicket. Nihal wanting to go big and not the
03:18time. And there's a chance. This is up in the air and Harris under it. An easy take and Pakistan
03:26pick up another important wicket. Oh, he's picked that. What a shot. One bounce into the ropes
03:33towards the administrative area. What a shot. That's out of here. He's got plenty of bat on it.
03:42Sublime hitting by the captain Tilak Verma. Oh, he goes over this time. One bounce for a fall.
03:51That one's high. And that's out of here as well. Go fetch it. It has disappeared. That one's out
04:03of here too. Into turf two. Tilak Verma has bludgeoned this one. The helicopter has come
04:13out but he's not quite middled it. Fielder coming underneath. Tilak will depart. Much needed break
04:18here. And he gets one over. Backward point. Gets off the mark with a streaky edge and a fall.
04:26Good ball. Oh, they steal a single and on the overthrow as well they'll get another one. This
04:35could be close. Puts in the dive but I reckon he's struggling over here, Nishant. Yeah,
04:39struggling. Struggling. He had to drag the ball from way outside. Oh, yeah. It's got to be out.
04:45He's picked that up. Slow one. Straight to the fielder at long off. He walks in and walks out
04:54in no time without troubling the scorers. Let's go back. Oh, this could be close. This could be
05:01the end as well. Great fielding of his own bowling game, Brown Jr. He's making it count in this final
05:06over. He's given that a mighty tonk and I'll tell you what, he ends it with a flourish as well. The
05:15momentum is with India here as they walk back to the dugout as well. That's been picked up. Dispatch
05:33deposited. What a way to get off the bark and start the chase as well. Harris making intentions
05:38clear. Oh, he has a leg something knocked out. What a comeback. He has the last laugh, Anshul
05:46Kamboj. A little too ambitious and cheeky the Harris. An India strike at the very first over.
05:51Beautiful shot. That's gone the distance as well. We saw Tilak Varma play something like that towards
06:00the onside but this is class from the bat. That's straight to the fielder at deep square. Anshul
06:12strikes for the second time. Omer has to depart. Nishant Sindhu with that catch. Nice strike. He
06:21had to create some room and he's done it really well. Al Qasim also making intentions clear.
06:26Pakistani will need more of it. That's been hit really hard. Had to make some room. A couple of
06:34bounces. That'll be the second boundary of the over. What a shot. That's the longest hit tonight
06:41and he's got into quick position as well. Yasir is playing some delightful hits in the middle.
06:46Terrific start to the over. As far as Qasim is concerned, 50 comes up for Pakistani and in some
06:56style an authority. This is a bit trash but it's in the gap. A chase for the fielder on square leg
07:04and the ball will win the race. Cross the boundary. Another four to the Pakistani total who now go to
07:1154. Yasir goes big and we shall see whether this is a big one. Yes it is. Clears the fielder. Goes
07:21over the rope and he takes the maximum out of the free hit. Just a boundary and over will do and
07:27this is a great shot as well. What a catch. What an unbelievable take that is. That is Superman for
07:33you in the field. Is it really a jersey that you're wearing or is there a jetpack underneath?
07:40This could be another. This could be another wicket and the simplest of catches. Vadera
07:51wouldn't miss that. Qasim departs for 27. Two new men at the crease. Pakistani stutter.
07:56Arafat Minhas has played that shot for a moment. I thought it's just going to be a run but that's
08:05been played so well. Oh boundary. Sometimes you just don't need those flashy big hits. You can
08:16be street smart as well. Down the wicket using the feet. One bounce and it goes into the fence.
08:23That was hit hard by Arafat Minhas. This time Arafat sweeps this one and he's got a flat six
08:31just into the Pakistan dugout. Well up for the challenge. Exposes thumbs, lifts dangerously.
08:39You've got to take those chances and it pays off with another boundary. Oh slower one. Beats him
08:47right through all in's out. Inside edge on to the off stump and the misery ends for Hyder Ali.
08:53And that's out of here as well. What a way to get off the mark into the roads. There we see outside
09:03the off but this one has been chopped through point and covered. No chance for any fielders
09:09in the deep. Huge once more out of the ground. Long she goes and Abdul Samad is carrying on
09:20his merry way. Well this has gone high. Miles in the air. This will take some catching. The
09:27fielder is underneath and he takes a brilliant catch. There must have been pressure on him
09:33under this high ball but he has been calm and he has taken the catch. Sliced away. Four runs much
09:42needed as well. Abbas off the mark with the boundary. This is hit flat and straight through
09:49the fielder and there goes Abdul Samad and takes along with himself the Pakistan chances in this
09:54game. It was in the slot but he did not get the desired elevation hitting it flat into the belly
10:01of the fielder who took it easily. Another edge four more but India prevail in this contest
10:09against Pakistani and they go on to register an emphatic win here at the Oman Cricket Academy.
