Pakistan beats India by four wickets in Hong Kong Sixes at Mission Road Ground, Mong Kok, after a rapid opening by captain Abbas Afridi. Multiple outlets highlight that Afridi takes 5 consecutive sixes from Krunal Pandya in the first over, turning the match decisively in Pakistan’s favour.
India sets 88 runs in six overs, and Pakistan responds by making 31 without loss in the chase’s first over. Different reports focus on the same key sequence: Afridi’s heavy hitting dominates the early phase, while India’s bowling/fielding is unable to stop the onslaught. Several outlets also describe the overall result as a standout or stunning win for Pakistan.
Beyond the score, one outlet adds a pre-match detail involving India captain Krunal Pandya avoiding a customary handshake with Afridi at the toss, aligning it with a broader “no-handshake” pattern reported by the same source. Overall, the coverage largely agrees on the match turning point—Afridi’s assault on Pandya—and Pakistan completing the chase.
