Full Highlights: India vs Pakistan - 1st T20I, Bangalore 25 Dec, 2012
This match was the fourth between India and Pakistan – first outside the ICC World Twenty20.
Man-of-the-Match: Mohammad Hafeez for his match winning 61-run knock.
Brief scores: India 133/9 in 20 overs (G Gambhir 43, A Rahane 42,U Gul 3/21, S Ajmal 2/25) lost to Pakistan 134/5 in 19.4 overs (M Hafeez 61, S Malik 57*, B Kumar 3/9) by 5 wickets
Hafeez: "It was a great effort we wanted to start the series well and we were great with the ball right from the very start. Mohammad Irfan is a surprise package and he showed just why today with some great bowling at the start. Saeed Ajmal and Umar Gul were also fantastic at the death. Myself & Shoaib Malik played very well, we took risks at the right time and ran between the wickets well. This is a great result for the whole nation and we are really pleased with the way we finished it."
Dhoni: "I think we should have got a lot more runs after getting off to a fantastic start. We were not able to capitalise on our openers good work and we should have easily got 15 or so more runs. We took a gamble bowling out the fast bowlers early but unfortunately their batsmen were too good today."
