In the T20 World Cup opener match, India beat Pakistan for four wickets in a tight match where the scales of victory kept landing on both the battling teams. Virat Kohli made a comeback kind of performance, scoring 82 runs from 53 balls. Pakistan couldn't seal the match though they posed a severe challenge to India.
