Hong Kong Sixes: India Edges Past Pakistan in Rain-Affected Thriller
India posted 86 for 4 in their six overs, led by Robin Uthappa’s rapid 28 off 11 balls. Dinesh Karthik contributed 17 runs from 6 balls, while Bharat Chipli added a quick 24 off 13 deliveries, providing solid support to Uthappa.
“Dinesh Karthik and Bharat Chipli chipped in with cameos, and ably supported Uthappa.”
The match took place at Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground. Pakistan’s opener Khawaja Nafay started aggressively, scoring 18 runs off the first over. Stuart Binny dismissed Maaz Sadaqat early, who scored 7 off 3 balls.
With Nafay (18 off 9) and Abdul Samad (16 off 6) at the crease, Pakistan reached 41 for 1 in three overs and seemed on course to chase the target. However, persistent rain caused the match to be shortened, resulting in a narrow two-run win for India.
