Farhan and Fakhar gave Pakistan a good start, adding vital runs in powerplay before steadying the ship in first 10 overs. Farhan, in particular, was fluent and punished anything loose while he rotated strike efficiently. Fakhar batted around him sensibly, playing an anchor role of sorts as he kept the score moving.

Pakistan was 45 for one after the compulsory powerplay (overs 0.1 to 6) making it a good start. But once the stand was ended at 84 for 1 in the 9. 4th over: India struck with disciplined bowling and smart fielding.

The middle order could not take advantage. If you think about it the prime performers of their top order – Mohammad Haris, Hussain Talat, Salman Agha and even Mohammad Nawaz – got them next to nothing. A collapse ensued when wickets started to tumble and Pakistan slid from 58 for 0 to 83 for 6, losing their last six wickets for a mere 33.

India’s innings began shakily. Abhishek Sharma was dismissed early for 5 and skipper Suryakumar Yadav fell soon after making just a run. Shubman Gill also fell for cheap, reducing India to 20 for 3 in four overs.

At this point, the contest was quite evenly balanced and Pakistan sniffed an opportunity. But, Tilak Varma did not lose his cool and played a calculated innings to guide the chase astutely. He combined well with Sanju Samson 18 and Shivam Dube at the fag end for a later onslaught.

Key Partnerships for India

• Tilak Varma & Sanju Samson: 57 runs
• Tilak Varma & Shivam Dube: 60 runs

These unions steadied the innings and wrested back momentum decisively in India’s favour. Tilak was able to rotate the strike and find a couple of boundaries whenever needed, so that the asking rate did not get on top.

India made 36 in their powerplay (overs 0.1 to 6), soaking up pressure early on and then managing the chase well.

Fall of Wickets – India

• 7-1 (Abhishek Sharma, 1.1 ov)
• 10-2 (Suryakumar Yadav, 2.3 ov)
• 20-3 (Shubman Gill, 3.6 ov)
• 77-4 (Sanju Samson, 12.2 ov)
• 137-5 (Shivam Dube, 18.6 ov)
