Hasan Nawaz's valiant 96 in Pakistan's men's cricket final against India at the Asian Games fell short of the mark. Pakistan needed 33 runs from the last over to chase down India's 212, but Hasan's dismissal left them 19 runs down. Nawaz's innings featured five fours and seven sixes, but he was caught behind off Shivam Dube off the final ball.
Despite Hasan's early dismissal, Pakistan's innings saw a resurgence when Saim Ayub and Abdul Samad added 87 for the fourth wicket before Saim's dismissal. A final yorker from Dube denied Pakistan the opportunity to win.
