Something has been off with India's batting since the openers departed! Nehal handled the pressure for a while, but now the captain and Ramandeep need to accelerate their scoring.

By the way, Varma just hit a boundary, bringing his score to 27 runs off 28 balls. He knows what to do

IND-A: 134-4 (16.3 overs)

What a spell by Qasim Akram!

As we enter the death overs, the fifteenth over yields just 6 runs (1, 1, Wd, 1, W, 1, 1). Now, Abbas Afridi (2.0-0-36-0) returns to the attack, with Indian captain Tilak Varma carrying the hopes for India alongside Ramandeep Singh.

Arafat Minhas delivers a slow ball to Prabhsimran, who tried to reverse-sweep but gets caught by Mohammad Imran! Prabhsimran departs after scoring 36 runs off 19 balls, including 3 fours and 3 sixes.

But there was confusion again, was it a catch? The umpire calls for a review. Fans debate whether his hand touched the ground, but the decision stands—out! Yes, Singh is gone now. Both the Indian openers depart after a brilliant start in quick succession.

Nehal Wadhera, left-handed batter, comes to the crease.

IND-A: 76-2(7.4)

Sufiyan Muqeem finally halts the storm that is Abhishek Sharma, breaking 68-run opening stand. He dismisses him caught by Qasim Akram!

IND-A: 69-1(6.2)

That was a SIX! After some confusion over whether it was a boundary or a six, the umpire checked with the third umpire and confirmed it as six runs. Play was briefly halted to reassess. And on the fourth ball, another clean six! Zaman Khan to Prabhsimran, and he’s making the most of it!

INDA - 68-0(6)

Cricket isn't just a game; they say it's a festival in India and its neighbor Pakistan, where fierce rivalries have existed since the beginning!

IND-A: 42-0(4.4)

And the same player who silenced opposing crowds in the Indian Premier League for Sunrisers Hyderabad is on fire—Abhishek Sharma has smashed back-to-back boundaries! In just the first over, he’s already making an impact, and Prabhsimran Singh is just on fire, he got a six and a boundary!
