Cricket T20 World Cup: India beat Pakistan in amazing finale

A preliminary match in the men's T20 World Cup in Melbourne between India and Pakistan resulted in a dramatic, last ball victory for India, thanks to an extraordinary innings by captain - Virat Kohli.

T20 is a short form version of traditional test match cricket where matches last for up to five days.

Virat Kohli, considered one of cricket's biggest stars, pulled India towards what seemed an impossible win.

Sharda Ugra, an Indian cricket writer, explains how T20 games are changing the nature of cricket and how this "massive game" that saw India win on the last ball "is literally everything T20 is meant to be."
