7.4 overs (0 Run) OUT! TIMBER! Axar Patel looked to be aggressive there but gets cleaned up instead. Just as the on-air commentators said that this was the highest score by an Indian batter at number 4 against Pakistan in a T20 World Cup clash, Axar walks back. Naseem Shah steams in from over the wicket and just bowls it on a tad shorter length around middle and leg, Axar comes down the pitch to heave it away but misses the ball completely and Pakistan have their third wicket as the ball crashes into the stumps.
