- 2:46Shashank Singh arrives and accelerates India's innings with sixes and boundaries.
- 6:27Rahul Tewatia falls first ball; Krunal Pandya follows on Samad's next delivery.
- 10:34Khawaja Nafay and Asif Ali launch Pakistan's chase with repeated boundaries.
- 14:36India dismiss Asif Ali with a catch on the boundary.
- 17:02The decisive finish arrives here, followed by the match scorecards.
Shashank Singh is clearing the boundary, and India have runs coming quickly. Then Abdul Samad removes Rahul Tewatia and Krunal Pandya with consecutive deliveries, changing the shape of the innings.
That abrupt turn is at the heart of Sports TV's India-Pakistan highlights from the Hong Kong Sixes. The upload reached about 150,000 views in twenty hours, already far beyond the channel's usual first-day audience for regular videos.
Six-a-side cricket leaves plenty of space for attacking shots, but little time to recover from a setback. Shashank supplies India's early acceleration before Samad's double strike and Ahmed Daniyal's dismissal of Shashank help leave Pakistan chasing 89.
Khawaja Nafay and Asif Ali make that target look manageable in a hurry. Both repeatedly find the boundary, with one blow prompting the commentary call: "It's out of the stadium!" India eventually take catches near the rope to dismiss both batters, but Irfan Khan Niazi finishes the chase with another six.
The tournament is drawing viewers beyond this fixture, too. Sports TV's all-matches opening-day broadcast and its Bangladesh-Sri Lanka highlights are also attracting unusually large audiences. Beneath the India-Pakistan upload, congratulations to Pakistan include messages from viewers identifying themselves as supporters in Sri Lanka and Bangladesh.
