India to chase 111 in 20 overs
India faced a shocking start as they lost the wicket of Virat Kohli on the first ball of Indian innings. It was a dream come true moment for Saurabh Netravalkar, who once played for India in the U-19 World Cup 2010, now playing for USA.
Netravalkar then dismissed Indian captain on the last ball of the first over to put India under pressure.
Rishabh Pant was looking in good touch before Ali Khan sent him back to pavilion for 18.
However, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube soaked the whole pressure and went to add 72 runs for the fourth wicket. Yadav remained the aggressor in the chase and struck 50* off 49. While Dube also remained not out in the process at 31.
