Pakistan scored 171/5 in their 20 overs after batting first. They regain some of the lost ground with the last three overs going for 42. Even so, they’ll be a bit disappointed to finish with 171 after the kind of flying start they got. They had smashed 91 off the first 10 overs, with Sahibzada Farhan going great guns and taking the attack to Bumrah who went for 34 off his first three. He had a partnership of 72 with Saim Ayub for the second wicket. But the innings lost steam when Dube came onto bowl. Along with Chakaravarthy, the medium pacer did a great job of pulling things back after the halfway mark and Pakistan went without a boundary for more than six overs in that phase. That could be critical on a pitch that appears to be good for batting. Sahibzada Farhan scored 58 runs of 45 balls and Saim Ayub scored 21 runs of 17 balls. For Team India, Shivam Dube picked 2 wickets for 33 runs in his 4 overs quota.
Innings Break!
We've been given a target of 172 runs to chase.

Team India chased down the target in 18.5 overs by scoring 174/4 and won the game by 6 wickets. It may have gone to the 19th over but India were always winning this. Especially after the opening stand between Abhishek and Gill. The former started it all off as he slammed the first ball from Shaheen Afridi for six. Saim Ayub who took a three-fer when these two last played, was way too short and paid the price. Words flew and tensions were high as both the openers engaged in a verbal tirade with Shaheen Afridi and Rauf in particular. Eventually the opening stand was broken right after the drinks break and Pakistan got a few wickets too to pull things back, but the result was never in doubt. Abhishek’s innings of 74 was studded with big hits, those towering sixes over mid-wicket off Abrar being the highlight. India stamps their authority on Pakistan once again and begins their Super Fours campaign on a winning note. Abhishek Sharma scored 74 of 39 balls and Shubman Gill scored 47 runs of 28 balls. For Pakistan, Haris Rauf picked 2 wickets for 26 runs in his 4 overs quota.
India cruise to a handsome victory! ✌️
