The Indian team had given a target of 252 runs to Pakistan. Since Pakistan was far behind in net run-rate, they had to achieve this target in 33.3 overs. Usman Khan, captain Farhan Yusuf and opener Hamza Zahoor had at one time increased the heartbeat of Team India, but Pakistan’s lower middle order and tail batsmen flopped badly.

At one time, Pakistan team had scored 151 runs at the loss of only 2 wickets in the 30th over. Pakistan’s scoreboard was moving at a run rate of more than 5. The Pakistani team was headed towards an easy victory, but then RS Ambris dismissed captain Farhan Yusuf on the score of 38. The trend of the match had changed from here.

Meanwhile, the dangerous spell of captain Ayush Mhatre also started, who did not give the Pakistan team a chance to recover by dismissing Ahmed Hussain after some time. Even after this, Usman Khan was left, but Mhatre dismissed him on the score of 66 and sent him to the pavilion. Mhatre’s dismissal of two consecutive sets of batsmen meant that the match seemed to be in India’s lap. Pakistan’s last 6 wickets fell within just 43 runs.
