The atmosphere is electric at Australia’s largest stadium, with a crowd around the 100,000 mark expected to fill the ground and watch the two arch-rivals go head-to-head.
Bowling the fourth ball of the 15th over, Ashwin was let down by spider cam. The ball went up off a thick outside edge, and it hits spider cam. India captain Rohit Sharma and all-rounder Hardik Pandya were both upset because it would’ve probably been a catch. But they could do nothing about it. It was declared a dead ball. In the end a good stroke of luck for Masood.
Spider cam adds nothing to the game and just cost India a wicket. Farcical in a World Cup. Needs binning off promptly @icc #indvspakmatch #ICCT20WorldCup #ICCT20WorldCup2022 pic.twitter.com/IMMTXJcfsl

That stroke of luck proved very major in the end as Shan Masood remained unbeaten to take Pakistan to 159 runs. Masood scored 52* off 42 balls with a strike rate of 123.81.
Talking about the 1st innings, a quickfire half-century from Iftikhar Ahmed has helped Pakistan post a competitive total in their massive ICC Men’s T20 World Cup clash against arch-rival India.
Iftikhar took a particular liking to the spin of Axar Patel, as the Pakistan No.4 helped his side overcome the loss of Babar Azam for a golden duck and Mohammad Rizwan for just four to post 159/8 at a packed MCG.
Arshdeep Singh (3/32) had both Pakistan’s openers back in the pavilion by the end of the fourth over, only to see Iftikhar (51 off 34 deliveries) and Shan Masood (52* from 42 balls) dine out on India’s spinners during the middle overs.
