And that wraps up our coverage of this India-Pakistan contest. Really fun game it's been, and India, who in truth always seemed one step ahead of Pakistan, sneak home in the final over. Thanks to everyone who joined us, and let's see you guys in these numbers for as many Asia Cup games as possible, not just India-Pakistan. On that naively optimistic note, I will sign off, and catch you again shortly. Take care!

Hardik Pandya is the Player of the Match. He has a huge smile on his face, as he well might.

"It's important to asses the situation and use your weapons," Pandya says. "The hard lengths particularly. But you have to use them wisely. When it comes to batting, the chances I take when executing, I'm likelier to pullit off when I'm calmer. I knew they had Nawaz waiting to bowl, and while we needed 7, even if we needed 15 I would have fancied by chances.

"I feel the bowler is under a lot more pressure than me. I just needed one six in that final over. I try to keep things simple."

"Halfway through the innings, we still believed," Rohit Sharma says. "That's the kind of belief we want to have in this group, where you're not in the game and you still manage to pull it off. We want to make sure they've all been given enough clarity around what to do in the middle. I'll take wins like this over one-sided wins.

"The fast bowlers have done very well in the last 12 months or so. We were challenged at times but overcoming those challenges will take us forward. Since Hardik's comeback into this team, he's been brilliant. Had a great IPL too. His batting qualities we all know, he has been brilliant with the bat since he came into the team."

Kamal: "Big comment from Rohit: "will take wins like this rather one-sided the wins.""

"The way we started we were 10-15 runs short,", Babar says. "We came back thanks to our outstanding fast bowling. Dahani stepped up with the bat which really gave us something to defend, but it's a shame we couldn't finish it off. "We wanted to have 15 or so to defend for Nawaz, but that wasn't to be and Pandya finished it off wonderfully."

Okay, we should have the presentations very shortly. Edwin : "Seeing Pakistan's players struggled with cramps and Indian bowlers managed to bowl all overs without an issue shows how good is India working on the fitness of the players. "

7.58pm This is the first time that India have taken all their ten wickets via pace in a T20I innings, Sampath Bandarupalli notes. Bhuvneshwar and Pandya used the short ball well in the early exchanges and the middle overs before all the pacers varied their pace and lengths cleverly in the end overs. India never let Pakistan get away until No.11 Dahani smashed a couple of sixes. It was Pandya who cracked open the game for India with the wickets of Rizwan and Ahmed. Danyal will be back with you for the start of Pakistan's defence. Early breakthroughs from Pakistan could even up this contest.

Bhuvneshwar speaks to Star Sports: When we looked at the wicket, we thought it would swing but there was no swing. There was bounce, but we know what balls we have to bowl. When you bowl short, few were skidding and some were coming slow. To be honest, we gave 10-15 runs extra [to Pakistan]. New ball is always tricky on this wicket. There could be bounce for their bowlers too, but I'm backing our batters to chase this down.

Abubakar: "I think this match has been a very good eye opener for Pakistan before WC. As a Pakistani Fan, i would trade this match for the one in Australia."

Saurabh : "India should try Hooda in place of Avesh next time. 6 bowling options with batting till 8."

SuriG: "India doing to Pakistan today what Pakistan did to India in last T20I WC."

Joe: "If Pakistani bowlers go short, we have Rohit Sharma to pull them over square leg"

Arshdeep is back into the attack. He excelled at the death in the Caribbean and USA. Rohit has a chat with the left-arm seamer

Swetabh: "Finally!! A wicket on Non- SHORT ball "

Asad: "Pakistan vs India in ICC - WC events: It seems normal service has resumed! "

Nawaz is the new batter

varun: "A lot depends on Asif Ali and Avesh Khan. One big over may give Asif the momentum and Avesh has a tendency to go for runs"
