Captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and chose to put Pakistan into bat. At the 30-over mark, Pakistan seemed to be in a favorable position with a score of 150/2, and Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan showcasing comfort at the crease. However, Siraj's breakthrough by dismissing Babar shifted the momentum, and outstanding performances by Bumrah and Kuldeep dismantled the Pakistan middle and lower order, restricting them to 191 runs.
In response, Team India exhibited clinical precision. The return of Shubman Gill proved valuable, contributing a useful cameo at the top of the order. Rohit Sharma, carrying forward his stellar form from the Afghanistan match, played a crucial role. By the time he was dismissed in the 22nd over after a splendid 63-ball 86, India was only 35 runs away from victory. Ultimately, they achieved the target with nearly 20 overs to spare.
