India vs Pakistan LIVE Score, Asia Cup 2025: PAK make IND press panic button with very little time left in the innings

The Indian fielding, especially their catching, seems to be at sixes and sevens. After Abhishek Sharma dropped a catch in the first over, Kuldeep Yadav added to India's woes, grassing another regulation catch while fielding at short fine leg.

Fakhar Zaman was beginning to get a move on, helping himself to a couple of early boundaries to put India under pressure. However, the fireworks did not last long, with Hardik dismissing the opener out caught behind. Fakhar left the field in anger, believing the ball had not carried. The third umpire took his sweet time to finally find the visual conclusive before raising his finger.

What an eventful first six balls we have witnessed in the opening over of the match. Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan injured himself second ball before he was dropped by Abhishek Sharma at third man. Pakistan, ever since, have been busy, placing the balls regularly in the gaps to collect doubles and hit the occasional boundary.
