Any cricket match between India and Pakistan, the arch rivals, is usually one full of excitement and one expects nail biting finishes but the Asia T-20 at Dhaka was a totally different kettle of fish. It turned out to be a sad display of cricket and set to bat first, Pakistan managed to score just 83 runs in 17.3 overs - they could not play out the full quota of 20 overs.

ibnlive.com dated 27 February 2016.
Pakistan had players like Shoaib Malik, Shahid Afridi, and Umar Akmal in the team and failed miserably to put up a decent definable score.
For India, they began on a bad note and were tottering at three for eight in 2.4 overs when Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh joined forces to take India home. Virat Kohli missed out on another 50 but he and Yuvrah Singh stitched 68-run partnership after Mohammad Amir's fiery spell.
India finally cruised home to a five-wicket win in 15.3 overs over Pakistan in their second Asia Cup T20 match in Dhaka and, with this win, India are top of the table with four points in two matches. Hardik Pandya was the pick of India's bowlers, finishing with 3 for 8 while Ravindra Jadeja captured 2 for 11.
