Opting to bat in the absence of regular skipper Mohammad Rizwan, Pakistan went off to a steady start.
The second-wicket partnership between Babar Azam and Haseebullah Khan was setting a platform for the tourists to set a big total.
However, as soon as Haseebullah got out on 24 off 19, the men in green faced a middle-order chaos, and lost their next two in the span of six runs.
With 70 for 4 in 9.4 overs, the tourists were still in the game, especially the well-set Babar Azam’s presence at the middle, was a big relief.
