Arshdeep Singh: 8.5. Sensational with the new ball. Getting Azam and Rizwan early was half the battle for India. Getting hit for a six and a four by a tailender at the death the only negative. AFP
PAKISTAN RATINGS: Babar Azam: 1. The Pakistan captain got out first ball. In the chase, left the final over for spinner Mohammad Nawaz, which made India's task easier. Should have completed his quota earlier and used just the quicks at the death. AFP
Mohammad Rizwan: 4. Failed with the bat but was good with the gloves, completing a catch, run out (just about) and stumping under extreme pressure. Getty
Shan Masood: 8. Was doubtful for the match after getting hit on the head by a stray shot during training. But played nonetheless and held the innings together after Pakistan lost Azam and Rizwan early. His game and technique are perfect for Australian pitches. AP
Iftikhar Ahmed: 9. Played a breathtaking innings under pressure, hitting four sixes in six balls against the spinners. Looked in command on a tough pitch. Great catch to get Rohit Sharma. AFP
Shadab Khan: 7. Failed with the bat but was excellent with the ball, giving away just 21 runs from his quota of overs. AFP
Haider Ali: 2. The specialist middle order bat got out in the same over as Shadab, knocking the wind out of Pakistan's innings. AFP
Asif Ali: 2. Not only did he get out cheaply, looked ungainly while handling the short ball as well. Not good signs. AFP
Mohammad Nawaz: 2. Smashed a couple of boundaries but was all over the place with the ball. Forced to complete his quota despite being targeted by Pandya and Kohli. Bowled the final over with 16 needed. Got a couple of wickets, could have still saved the day had he not bowled a waist high full-toss to Kohli. AFP
Shaheen Afridi: 7. Played a lovely little cameo that took the target to 160. Consistent with the ball without being as threatening as Rauf or Shah. Respectable return from injury. AFP
Haris Rauf: 8.5. Was near perfect through his spell, mixing high pace with clever slower balls. Was hit for two outlandish sixes off his last two balls by Kohli, ruining a great effort. Getty
Naseem Shah: 9. India batsmen could not touch him, no matter how hard they tried. Bowled the 17th over to Kohli and Pandya, who could only take six off him. What a find for Pakistan! AP
INDIA RATINGS: KL Rahul: 2. His dismissal was on expected lines - bowled against high pace with the new ball. It will only get tougher as the tournament progresses for top order batsmen. Getty
Rohit Sharma: 3. Was beaten by brilliant new-ball bowling by Rauf, getting an edge to slip in classic Test match fashion. Used his bowling resources well. AFP
Virat Kohli: 10. Without doubt the greatest T20 innings Kohli has played. Soaked up the pressure with Pandya and took the chase to the end, even when 48 was needed from 18 balls. His six down the ground off Rauf is one of the finest ever under pressure. AFP
Suryakumar Yadav: 4. Showed great intent in his brief innings and even though he got out early, Yadav showed he is in good touch. AFP
Axar Patel: 1. Blasted for 21 runs in one over and involved in a terrible run out. Utterly forgettable outing. Getty
Hardik Pandya: 10. Proved once again he is worth his weight in gold. Bowled fast, took three important wickets and then mastered a tense chase perfectly with Kohli. AFP
Dinesh Karthik: 4. Took a couple of good catches. Did not finish the game with the bat with two needed from two, which will dent his confidence. AFP
Ravichandran Ashwin: 9. Was consistent with the ball. Came to bat with two needed from one. Was calm enough to capitalise on a wide and then easily scored the winning runs. AP
Mohammad Shami: 9. Perfect replacement for Jasprit Bumrah. Gave nothing away and dismissed the dangerous looking Iftikhar. AFP
Bhuvneshwar Kumar: 9. The most economical bowler for India, used the conditions excellently. Dismissed Shaheen when the bowler was teeing off, saving a few runs. AFP
