India got off to an absolute flier with both openers taking a liking to the raw pace of the Pakistani bowlers. They managed to score 62 runs inside the Powerplay and having lost just their skipper, they were on course for a big total. KL Rahul got out soon after and after that it was only Virat Kohli who stayed on the crease as the wickets kept tumbling. With the score at 93/2 at the halfway mark, India would have looked to get to the 200-run mark but the middle order failed. Kohli ended up with 60 runs and India somehow managed to scrape over the 180-run mark which is a par score given how the pitch is playing.
A brilliant contest between bat and ball in the first half but on the whole, India will be happier of the two sides going into the break as they have the late momentum with those two late boundaries. Pakistan though did really well to restrict India well below 200.
19.6 overs (4 Runs) DROPPED AND FOUR! Two pieces of really poor fielding from Fakhar Zaman has seen India end the innings with a couple of boundaries. A low full toss, wide of the off stump, Ravi Bishnoi slashes it aerially towards deep point. Zaman comes in from the deep and ends up overrunning the ball. Zaman tries to adjust and take the take behind him but the ball goes off the palms and trickles into the fence. A brilliant over by Haris Rauf is ruined and India finish with 181/7!
19.5 overs (4 Runs) FOUR! An attempted yorker from Haris Rauf but ends up bowling a low full toss. Ravi Bishnoi slices it through point. Fakhar Zaman charges it early and misfields it. The ball races away the fence. This might turn out costly for Pakistan.
Ravi Bishnoi walks in next.
19.4 overs (1 Run) OUT! RUN OUT! Fuller one on middle, Virat Kohli flicks it to square leg and calls for two. Asif Ali is quick to collect it and makes a direct hit. The decision is taken upstairs. The replay shows that Virat Kohli was just out of his crease and he walks out after a good knock!
Is that a run-out? An absolute bullet of a throw from the deep by Asif Ali and he gets in the direct hit at the striker's end. Virat Kohli seems to be struggling here and the umpires go upstairs. The replays show that the dive didn't save Kohli and he has to walk back.
