LAST NIGHT

An unbeaten half-century from Virat Kohli saw India chase down Pakistan's 118 with balls and wickets to burn in rain-affected match.

On a pitch where Pakistan's batsmen struggled to score consistently against the turning ball, and his top-order teammates had been undone by seam and pace, Kohli looked on another level.

Kohli smashed 55 from just 37 deliveries to ensure India chased down Pakistan's small total of 5-118, with more than two overs remaining.

It was a tight contest in the Women's clash between India and Pakistan, with rain also interrupting this contest.

India managed just 7-96 from their 20 overs and Pakistan seemed to be cruising when they reached 3-71 in the 15th over.

Three quick wickets gave India a chance, but Pakistan prevailed by two runs on the Duckworth Lewis system after heavy rain forced players from the field.

"It's going be another really tough game," Perry said. 

"Looking at New Zealand in comparison to South Africa, they've got a lot of depth in their batting line-up so it's going to be a real challenge for us especially in the early overs to make sure we start well."

INNINGS OF THE TOURNAMENT

The best innings doesn't necessarily mean the highest score. Chris Gayle set the tournament alight with his century against England to claim the Super 10 stage's highest score, but Virat Kohli's knock oozed class. On a pitch that made everyone around him look 

England thought their 182 in Mumbai was about par. Chris Gayle made it look decidedly short. The big-hitting Jamaican smashed 11 sixes, set a new world record for the number of T20 international career sixes, became the first man to score two World T20 centuries and put England's future in the tournament in grave doubt. After 48 balls, Gayle danced off a winner with an unbeaten century to his name.
