The India-Pakistan Asia Cup encounter in Dubai was a thriller.

This is how we recorded the events of the last over last night:

Left-arm spinner Mohammad Nawaz to bowl the final over, with India needing just seven for victory.

Ravindra Jadeja goes for the big slog first ball, but misses and is bowled after a good hand of 35 from 29 balls.

Dinesh Karthik sweeps the first ball for a single before Hardik Pandya punches the third ball straight to the fielder in the covers, for a dot ball.

India need 6 from 3 balls

Hardik finishes off the match in grand style, hitting the fourth ball for a six over long on.

After Pandya's nonchalant six, DK exchanged a fist bump with his partner, before bowing to Hardik.
