India marched on convincingly to beat arch rivals Pakistan by five wickets, in Match 4 of the Asia Cup T20 2016 at the Shere Bangla National Stadium in Mirpur, Dhaka on Saturday, as the video highlights of the match can be watched on starsports.com. India, who have been in a winning form in the shortest format of the game, continued their winning streak, in their second game of the tournament as well, following an impressive 45-run win over hosts Bangladesh in the opening game. Pakistan , on the other hand, who have been shaky in the format, suffered another defeat at the hands of the arch-rivals, but expect to bounce back stronger in the upcoming games of the tournament.

Virat Kohli was the deciding factor in India’s five-wicket 85-run chase as Mohammad Aamer led Pakistan’s phenomenal fightback in the Asia Cup T20 2016 Match 4 at Dhaka. That India did not enjoy smooth sailing in their chase was a testament to a sensational spell of swing and pace from Aamer that saw Rohit Sharma, Ajinkya Rahane, and Suresh Raina dismissed with just 8 runs on the board. However, once that early spell was seen off Kohli and Yuvraj Singh came together to put on a disciplined, tenacious partnership.

Earlier at the toss India were forced to make one change, with Ajinkya Rahane coming into the side in place of the injured Shikhar Dhawan. Ultimately it looked like the change would probably not affect India too much, given their target is merely 84. Pakistan decided to go in with four front line pace bowlers in Aamer, Mohammad Irfan, Mohammad Sami, and Wahab Riaz, but they had next to nothing to bowl at.
