Flair, authority and class - Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan showcased it all, while making easy work of Pakistan’s 152-run chase which was completed with 2.1 overs to spare. Rizwan stroked a 55-ball 79*, while Babar finished 68* off 52 to help the 2009 T20 World Cup champions begin their 2021 campaign with a dominant 10-wicket win.
Both pace and spin was countered sensibly, and was treated with disdain at times by the pair in a partnership that included 12 fours and five sixes.
Earlier, it was Shaheen Shah Afridi who laid the foundation with the ball, trapping Rohit Sharma leg-before for a first-ball duck, before castling KL Rahul (3). Virat Kohli scored a well calculated 57, before being undone by Shaheen who returned 3/31.
