Asia Cup: India beat Pakistan by five wickets

No surprises for guessing who the man-of-the-match is. Virat Kohli scored a brilliant 49 on a very difficult pitch for batsmen.

Brilliant start from Amir, who took three wickets in quick succession gave India a fright but Virat Kohli, India's man for all occasions, ensured there was no slip up, even if he fell just one short of his fifty. India win comfortably and make it two wins out of two and have one foot on the Asia Cup final.

15.3 Riaz to Dhoni, FOUR, you bet he does as he punches another drive for four. Another match in which he has hit the winning runs. India have won by 5 wickets with 27 balls to spare.

Will Dhoni finish it off this ball. Just three runs to win?

Even a half fit Dhoni can run three. #AsiaCup #IndvPak

15.2 Riaz to Yuvraj, 1 run, flicked off his pad and brings Dhoni on strike with victory just one hit away.

14.6 Sami to Yuvraj, 1 run, keeps strike for the next over with a single to square-leg.

14.5 Sami to Dhoni, 3 runs, just punched to cover but a misfield and Dhoni takes three, the running from the Indian captain was simply phenomenal. He strolled for two and then decided to go for 3 at the last minute.

14.4 Sami to Dhoni, no run, full ball and driven down to mid-off.

Two wickets in three balls brings MS Dhoni to the crease.

14.3 Sami to Pandya, WICKET, edged and taken. Slight juggle by first slip but he takes it eventually. Sami's final over so far reads W0W

14.2 Sami to Pandya, no run, hit to the fielder at point and there is no run.

Hardik Pandya walks in.

Moral victory for Pakistan as they did not let the full Indian team bat. #IndVPak
