Pakistan Innings: 191/10 (42.5 Overs)
The Pakistan innings got off to a decent start with Abdullah Shafique and Imam ul Haq providing a solid foundation. After their departure, Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan also played crucial knocks, both scoring half-centuries.
However, no other batter could stand in front of the fiery Indian bowling line up. Pakistan could manage just 191 runs in 42.5 overs, with Babar top-scoring with 50 runs off 58 balls.
For India, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Hardik Pandya, Kuldeep Yadav and Ravindra Jadeja picked two wickets each.
India Innings: 192/3 (30.3 Overs)
In response, India chased down the target comfortably with 19.3 overs to spare. Rohit Sharma played a blistering knock, scoring 86 runs off 63 balls. Shreyas Iyer also contributed with a well-crafted half-century, scoring unbeaten 53 runs. India secured the victory with 7 wickets in hand.
