Earlier, India won the toss and opted to bat. The team lost Vaibhav Sooryavanshi early, but Abhishek Sharma continued his brute form and played a scintillating innings of 61 in 28 balls, including seven sixes. There was a mini collapse in the middle overs when India lost Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan cheaply, but a magnificent partnership of 62 in 30 balls between Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma took India to 211-6. Shivam Dube played a good little cameo of 27 in 15 balls, but the real damage was done by Tilak Varma, who made 51 in 22 balls, including four sixes to bat Pakistan out of the game.
