Saurav Prakash: "What a knock from Rohail. Perfectly paced it. His innings might turn out to be the difference."

Sufyan: "Qasim's run out is turning point of the game."

Mit Chowdhury: "172 isn't a big score. But don't forget the 2006 U19 WC final between India and Pakistan - Pakistan bowled out for 109, and India went on to lose by 38 runs. I believe no total is a low total at U19 level. "

Stuart: "Competitive score on a tricky wicket, not an easy chase this "

kuldeep Yadav: "Nice effort from Rohail and Haider. But they couldn't get the job done. A sub par score if you opt to bat. Pressure on Pak. Can't wait for Indian innings."

Chandru: "Excellent bowling performance by India with all the bowlers contributing... Chasing small totals can still be tricky!"

Mobeen : "Time for the Amirs to produce an Amir-special - one that we've been longing for.."

1:20pm 6 for 26. That is how Pakistan's innings ends. Looked like they had a clear plan in terms of what to do after winning the toss, but they did appear blindsided after those early wickets. A nervy third wicket stand stabilized them, but India were always allowed a way to comeback. Once Haider fell after his fifty, India took it too. Haris came in and briefly changed the energy of the innings, but a sensational diving catch from Sxena ended his innings and from there, the slide began. The fast bowlers were just too good for the lower order after Bishnoi and Ankolekar softened the batting up. Rohail battled till late in the innings, but the pressure seemed to get to him as well. India need 173 to win. We will be back shortly for the chase.
