Opting to bat first, Pakistan were off to a shaky start and lost two wickets inside the first powerplay. While Sushant Mishra dismissed Pakistan’s last match hero Mohammad Huraira, Ravi Bishnoi sent Fahad Munir packing for a duck.
Opener Haider Ali and skipper Rohail Nazir steadied the ship for some time and batted for almost 20 overs for their 61-run stand. However, their party did not last long, as Haider was dismissed by part-time bowler Yashasvi Jaiswal while he was batting at 56.

Meanwhile, no other batsman was able to register a double-digit figure as India bowlers kept taking wickets at regular intervals to end the Pakistani innings at the 44th over.
For India, Mishra was the star of the pack for his figure of 3/28. Kartik Tyagi and Bishnoi returned with the numbers of 2/32 and 2/46 respectively. Atharva Ankolekar and Yashasvi contributed with one each.
