Buvneshwar Kumar surprised the Pakistan batsmen as India looked set to take victory after a poor batting performance but Mohammad Hafeez remained strong and guided Pakistan home. Kumar took a brilliant 3 for 9 off his 4 overs removing three key Pakistan batsmen in Nasir Jamshed, Ahmed Shehzad, and Umar Akmal. Hafeez made a brilliant 61 off 44, despite pressure from the rest of his players getting out and having to rely on Shoaib Malik to stay in with him reaching the modest total of 134 with 2 balls remaining.
