In an exciting opening match of Hong Kong Sixes 2025, India edged out Pakistan by two runs according to DLS, in a rain-affected match at the Tin Kwong Road Recreation Ground. Batting first, the Indian team produced a respectable total of 86/4 in six overs, with Robin Uthappa top scoring with a quick-fire 28 of 11 balls, and Bharat Chipli and captain Dinesh Karthik scoring some important quick runs in the last few overs to help India breach the 80-run mark.
Pakistan was very positive about their chase, quickly scoring 41 runs for 1 wicket in 3 overs when the rain stopped the game. The rapid scoring of Khawaja gave Pakistan early momentum, but the DLS calculation ultimately went in favor of India.
Stuart Binny and Shahbaz Nadeem, who formed the Indian bowling unit, were the calmest while under pressure, and thus the scoring rate of Pakistan was kept below the par total.
India’s victory brought them the much-needed points in Pool C, where they are grouped with Pakistan and Kuwait. The team under the patient Dinesh Karthik showed power hitting, discipline, and resilience. Hence, it gives the audience a glimpse of an exciting campaign ahead.
