Mohammad Rizwan (46 off 77) anchored the innings, forming a vital 104-run stand with Saud Shakeel (62 off 76). However, just as Pakistan looked settled, Axar Patel dismissed Rizwan, shifting momentum back to India.
From there, wickets fell at regular intervals, with Kuldeep Yadav (3/40) and Ravindra Jadeja (1/40) tightening the screws. Khushdil Shah’s 38 off 39 provided late resistance, but India’s bowling attack, led by Hardik Pandya (2/31) and Harshit Rana (1/30), ensured Pakistan never regained control.
With sharp fielding, disciplined bowling, and key breakthroughs at crucial moments, India successfully defended their total, securing a memorable win over their arch-rivals.
Chasing 242, India started aggressively, with Rohit Sharma (20 off 15) smashing a few quick boundaries before Shaheen Afridi got the breakthrough in the 5th over. Shubman Gill (46 off 52) looked in control but was bowled by Abrar Ahmed, leaving India at 100/2 in 17.3 overs.
