Paksitan batsman Khurram Manzoor was unfortunately run out for mere 10 by Virat Kohli, against India in Match 4 of the Asia Cup T20 2016 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka on Saturday. It was a good length ball from Bunrah towards the off side, which Shoaib Malikl played in the mid off towards Kohli, as Manzoor started running from the non-strikers end, with Malik clearly not interested, as Manzoor was half-way down the track, and Kohli made a direct shy at the stumps and connected well before Manzoor could be back, as India get the third breakthrough. Currently, Pakistan are 32 for the loss of three wickets in six overs, with Shoaib Malik on four and Umar Akaml coming in.

Earlier, Indian skipper MS Dhoni won the toss and elected to bat first, as he made the only change in the side, in the form of opener Shikhar Dhawan, who was replace by Ajinkya Rahane. While Pakistan skipper Shahid Afridi went with a strong batting side squad, that included seven batsmen and four fast bowlers. The track in Mirpur seems to be hard and has more grass, thus allowing Dhoni to use the conditions in the first half prominently, as he believes he is all right with his fitness, while Afridi had no hesitations to bat first in the match.
