The crucial partnership between Ravindra Jadeja and Hardik Pandya helped India defeat arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.

Rory McIlroy of Northern Ireland gave an impressive performance on the course and expressed his unwavering backing of the PGA Tour off it. McIlroy became the first three-time winner of the FedEx Cup with a sterling comeback in Sunday's final round of the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta. McIlroy overcame a six-stroke deficit to slip past No. 1 seed Scottie Scheffler and claim the $18 million first prize. With it came his reiterated endorsement of the PGA Tour amid the controversy involving the start-up LIV Golf Invitational Series. "I believe in the game of golf. I believe in this tour, in particular," McIlroy said. "I believe in the players on this tour. It's the greatest place in the world to play golf, bar none. And I've played all over the world."
Pandya had a dream game, first taking 3 for 25 in 4 overs and then finishing the match with a six off Mohammed Nawaz, having scored 33 invaluable runs off 17 balls. "In a chase like this, you always plan over-by-over. I always knew that there is one young bowler (Naseem or Shahnawaz Dahani) and also one left-arm spinner (Nawaz)," Pandya said after the match.
Liam Livingstone has joined an already significant list of England fitness worries ahead of October's Twenty20 World Cup in Australia after being ruled out of the remainder of the Hundred with an ankle injury. Birmingham Phoenix announced that hard-hitting batsman and spin bowler Livingstone, the top run scorer and most valuable player in last year's inaugural edition, will miss their final two group games of the season plus any knockout ties.
The Indian pacers called the shots in the Asia Cup 2022 clash against Pakistan as they scalped all the wickets in the high-voltage match on Sunday. It was the first time that Indian seamers took all ten wickets in a T20I innings. Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Hardik Pandya starred as they returned with figures of 4/26 and 3/25 in their respective four overs. Almost all the Indian pacers employed short ball tactics as it unnerved the Pakistan batters. Barring Mohammad Rizwan, all top Pakistan batters struggled as they were all out for 147.
All-rounder Hardik Pandya was at his best as he brought his A-game to help Team India defeat Pakistan by five wickets in the Asia Cup Group A clash on Sunday at the Dubai International Stadium. Pandya scored 33 runs off just balls with the help of 4 fours and 1 six. In the final over, on the fourth ball, Pandya hit a six to seal the contest for India. However, Hardik's gesture after the third ball of the over has now gone viral.
Hardik Pandya would have "fancied" his chances even if India needed 15 runs rather than the seven that they scored in the final over to win their Asia Cup opener against Pakistan. Pandya had a dream game, first taking 3 for 25 in 4 overs and then finishing the match with a six off Mohammed Nawaz, having scored 33 invaluable runs off 17 balls.
Team management finds utility of 'Finisher Karthik' more valuable as India continue to experiment in run-up to T20 World CupDUBAI: An interesting thing happened during the team huddle before India started with their warm-ups, around an hour before the match against Pakistan here on Sunday. Wicketkeeper-batsman Dinesh Karthik, the oldest player in the team, was asked to address the team first. Former captain Virat Kohli followed with a few words before incumbent skipper Rohit Sharma finished the pep-talk session, which was moderated by head coach Rahul Dravid. Dravid had joined the team in the early hours of Sunday, flowing in late after having recovered from Covid-19. Thirty minutes later, Rohit announced at the toss that Karthik had been preferred ahead of Rishabh Pant, the more regular stumper and current toast of Indian cricket. The decision came as a surprise to many.
