IND vs PAK: For 2nd consecutive game, an Indian bowler misses hat-trick after Naseem Shah thwarts Kuldeep Yadav

On the final ball of his over, Kuldeep had a hat-trick chance and managed to extract a faint edge from newcomer Naseem Shah, but the ball did not carry to second slip. The miss notwithstanding, India were already in the driver’s seat in the Group A game against Pakistan, reducing the team to 200/7.

Shaheen Shah Afridi also wasted one of Pakistan’s reviews by referring the LBW decision against Kuldeep. The replays showed that there was no doubt that Shaheen was out LBW.

In the Men in Blue’s opening game against Bangladesh, Axar Patel was on a hat-trick after picking up the wickets of Tanzid Hasan and Mushfiqur Rahim. He managed to induce an edge from Jaker Ali, but Rohit Sharma dropped the catch on first slip. Jaker went on to score 68 runs for Bangladesh.

The game against the Men in Blue is a must-win for hosts and defending champion Pakistan, who lost their opener against New Zealand. Only two teams make it to the semis-finals from each four-team group. With India having refused to come to Pakistan for the Champions Trophy, the game is being played at the Dubai International Stadium. India are the only team who will play all their games in Dubai while the rest of the seven teams are playing most of their games in Pakistan under the hybrid model of hosting.
