India vs Pakistan, Final - Live Cricket Score, Commentary

Varun Chakaravarthy to Fakhar Zaman, out Caught by Kuldeep Yadav!! Fakhar Zaman smashed a towering six last ball but Varun Chakaravarthy didn't bother one bit and stuck to his plan of bowling wide. Full credit to him because it's so easy to succumb to pressure, especially in a final. This time a bit fuller so Fakhar couldn't exactly hit it straight or get under it. The ball hits the outer half of the bat and flies off a thick edge. Kuldeep takes a good catch back-pedaling at backward point. Key wicket this as Fakhar was the set batter.
