Mohammad Rizwan hit an attacking 71 as Pakistan beat India by five wickets in a last-over Super Four thriller at the Asia Cup on Sunday.
Chasing 182 for victory, Pakistan achieved their target with one ball to spare in Dubai thanks to a key 73-run stand between Rizwan and Mohammad Nawaz (42).
In a post-match interview, the wicket-keeper batter Rizwan said that it is always important for any player to perform in a crucial encounter between the arch-rivals as so many people are watching it all over the world.

“It is always a special match when India and Pakistan play. The value of an India vs Pakistan match is that of a final and players try hard to do well in this match,” Rizwan said.
The in-form Rizwan, who made 43 and 78 in the previous two matches, hit back with three boundaries off pace bowler Hardik Pandya and a six in the next over.
He put on 41 runs with Fakhar Zaman who played a scratchy knock of 13 before falling to Yuzvendra Chahal’s leg spin.
