Melbourne: (Web Desk) India beat Pakistan by 4 wickets in a nail-biting clash at a packed Melbourne Cricket Ground. The partnership of Virat Kohli and Hardik Pandya sailed India to victory against Pakistan. Kohli smashed 82 runs and Pandya 40 runs to reach a partnership of 113 runs off 78 balls.
Although the defeat of Pakistan by India in a T20 match was just a part of cricket, the fans were unwilling to accept anything but a triumph.
Furthermore, the laborites gave mixed reactions over the defeat. Some expressed their sheer disappointment over the defeat in the much-awaited battle between two arch-rivals.
Had Pakistan not made mistakes at the last moment, the match could have been won, they added. Others were happy that the team fought well, but our luck did not favor us at the last minute.
Moreover some fans expressed their doubts and saw favoritism by the field empire and the pettiness of a big player like Kohli. They were of the view that a legal ball was declared a no-ball by the empire.
“Kohli got a six and also demanded a no-ball. We don’t understand this logic, if it was a no-ball, why did the empire turn around and look at the six and later declare it a no-ball? And why wasn’t it checked by the third empire? Why was it done so hastily?” they commented.
Meanwhile Shazia Ahmad, a lover of cricket hoped that Pakistan Team will make a comeback soon, just losing one match does not end the tournament. Another Noman Shahzad termed the match “a battle that was worth watching”.
As per details they said that the target was defendable but Muhammad Nawaz could not bear the pressure in the last over. Pakistan’s loss was sad. Overseas also got depressed by Pakistan’s defeat by India.
