It is a massive score, not least because of the sticky surface. Those expecting a miracle will have to pray hard; those wanting India vs Pakistan on Sunday hold the edge. Join Monga for the chase.

Fakhar: "We played according to the wicket. The plan was to keep wickets in hand in the first ten, and then hit in the last ten. That worked for us. There was a lot of heat and sweat as usual in the UAE. If you have wickets at the end here, you can put up a good score - like we did today."

Zafar: "Khushdil shah copy pasted Suriya kumar yadav four sixes in last over."

Maghi: "Pakistan did an India, against Hong Kong now!"

7.45pm The last five overs produce 77; the last ten yield 129. A miraculous escape by Pakistan to end with a commanding score. When even 160 at one stage looked difficult, they kept bashing at the death overs. Five sixes from Khushdil - four of them in the last over - as all of Hong Kong's hardwork in the first ten amount to nothing.
