The Men in Green, after facing a five-wicket defeat last week, came out on top against India in the ongoing Asia Cup 2022 in Dubai on Sunday.

Babar Azam's side chased down a stiff 182-run target with one ball to spare and won the Super 4 encounter by five wickets.

The high-voltage encounter saw players from both camps getting emotional during the match.

A glimpse of the dressing room was shared by the PCB on social media, where players can be seen showing different reactions during the tensed run-chase.

Mohammad Nawaz (42) and Mohammad Rizwan (71) were the key aspects in the run chase while Asif Ali hit Bhuvaneshwar Kumar in the second last over, scroing 19 runs.

Young Arshdeep Singh, who had spilled Asif Ali's dolly earlier in the contest, maintained to contain the Pakistan batters and took the game to the final two deliveries. He also trapped Ali LBW in the fourth delivery but Pakistan got over the line in the next ball.

Shadab Khan, who scalped two wickets in his four-over quota, can be seen seated all padded up in the video, while urging his teammates: “Dua kar! Dua kar (Just pray)”.

Babar Azam was standing right next to the glass wall and keenly waited for his boys to finish the chase. While doing so he also calculates the number of outfield fielders and engages in momentarily celebration as Pakistan drew close to the target. “Paanch fielders aa gaya bhai (Five fielders have come in),” the Pakistan captain can be heard saying in the video.

Rizwan was standing outside the room in the balcony and keeps chatting with the teammates. Moments after Asif smashes Arshdeep for a four in the final over, the wicketkeeper-batter can be heard saying: “is ball mey khatam! (It ends this ball)”.

However, Asif departs shortly soon, as Shadab holds his head and shouts: “Dua maangni padegi (Got to pray)".

The Pakistan dressing room then goes berserk as Iftikhar Ahmed takes the double, while players inside the dressing room share a hug.

Pakistan will now face Afghanistan now on September 7 in Sharjah.
