It was another India-Pakistan clash in the Asia cup where both team’s players performed with full intensity. Speaking about the match, after batting first, Pakistan set a target of 268 runs for India. However, India was in a good position while chasing that target. But, a mini-collapse made the situation tricky for the Indians.
In the 47th over, Harbhajan Singh came out to bat and smashed the Pakistan legend, Shoaib Akhtar for a six. The bowler did not like that as he came up with two bouncers in the next two balls. After that over, both of them exchanged some words and stare also. But, Harbhajan Singh had the last laugh as he hit a six in the last over to seal the deal for India.
