India got a bad start
Team India, which came on the field to bat first, had a very bad start. The team lost the first wicket in the very first over in the form of Abhishek Sharma, who returned to the pavilion without opening the account.
However, after Abhishek was out, Ishan Kishan took over the innings and made a partnership of 87 runs (46 balls) with Tilak Verma. Looking at this partnership, it seemed that Team India would easily reach the 200-run mark. But the Indian innings slowed down after Ishaan got out in the 9th over. After Ishaan, captain Suryakumar Yadav played an inning of 32 runs. Apart from this, Shivam Dubey scored 27 runs at a strike rate of 158.82.
Pakistan’s bowling
Sam Ayub was the bowler taking the maximum 3 wickets for Pakistan. Apart from this, captain Salman Aga, Usman Tariq and fast bowler Shaheen Afridi took 1 wicket each.
