"Abhishek's innings helps India chase 172 with seven balls to spare in their Super Fours cricket match against Pakistan in Dubai. A 105-run opening stand between Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill helped defending champions India beat Pakistan by six wickets in their Asia Cup Super Four match, a second victory over their archrivals in the Twenty20 cricket tournament. Put in to bat first in the match on Sunday, Pakistan set India a target of 172, which they reached with seven balls remaining."
"There was no handshake between the teams' players yet again, with the match played amid lingering tensions between the two nations in the wake of a military conflict between the nuclear-armed neighbours in May. There was clear tension between both sets of players it threatened to bubble over in India's innings as Pakistan's fast bowler Haris Rauf appeared to exchage heated words with Sharma and Gill."
