Match Report
On that note, Karthik and I, Danyal, sign off. It's been a pleasure bringing this game to you, one that ended up being quite close. Stick around for KK's report, but that's all from us. Congratulations to India, and commiserations to Pakistan! See you all again very soon.
Ruchit: "India simply played superior cricket as a team. Pakistan has 4 may be good contributions . India had 7 good contributions."
Yahya: "Spare a thought for Nawaz - he kept Pak alive until the 19/20th over and made the match watch worthy for fans."
There are no handshakes as India peel off to celebrate with their fans, while Pakistan will have to be content with silver.

Dube to Hasan Nawaz
strikes off the final ball! India win the gold medal! Slower bouncer sees Nawaz nick off, and India defend what they won in Hangzhou. They were always ahead in the game, even if Pakistan gave them a few nervier moments than India expected. But they were the better side, and always the side that was ahead in this game. And they are ahead as the game draws to a close. India clinch their seventh consecutive T20I win over Pakistan, and India's men do what their women did earlier, win a gold medal in the cricket.

goes up in the air, but falls in a gap, and Hasan Nawaz comes back for a second. He needs four to get to three figures

slot ball, smeared over cow corner for six. Pakistan will not get the gold, but he's six runs away from a century

Dube to Hasan Nawaz
very good yorker, and Nawaz cannot get underneath it. That should seal the gold for India, and the crowd knows it. Loud cheers erupting in the stands

short ball that Nawaz picks up and deposits over fine leg for four. Even that sends the rate rocketing upwards, nearly to 36

Bumrah to Hasan Nawaz
pitch perfect yorker, and he squirts it down to long-on somehow, and keeps the strike. Bumrah has done his job though. Pakistan need 33 off the last 6

took the pace off that. It looked like it might have been in the slot, but Nawaz's hoick finds fresh air

slower ball, fumble by Samson, and they come through for a single

Bumrah to Saad Masood
misses the yorker this time, and the low full toss is slogged straight back over the bowler's head. He hasn't middled it, but these boundaries are short, and it steals enough distance to get over the rope

Bumrah to Hasan Nawaz
phenomenal yorker from Bumrah, who produces these on demand, seemingly. This time they can't come back for a second

squirts out the yorker through extra cover, and very sloppy keeping allows Pakistan an overthrow that keeps Nawaz on strike

Sundar to Saad Masood
gets enough to smear that over long-on. It's still an excellent over for India, but Pakistan just won't let this contest go. 44 now needed in 2, one of which will be bowled by Bumrah

another one that cramps him for room, and he gets an underedge on it that goes nowhere

Sundar to Abdul Samad
Sundar strikes. It was a lazy slog from Samad, not much footwork there. He was rushed by the quicker ball from the bowler, and his hack achieved more elevation than distance. It's a simple catch for long-on, and India can smell gold now

slower delivery out wide. Nawaz slashes cuts it behind point, but doesn't get enough power to get it to the fence. 52 needed off three overs now
