  Team India in control vs Pakistan  As the match began, Pakistan faced early setbacks. Their star batter, Babar Azam, was dismissed within the first ten overs, leaving the team struggling to find momentum. To make matters worse, Imam-ul-Haq followed soon after, being run out by an exceptional throw from Axar Patel, who was fielding at mid-off. This dismissal placed Pakistan in a precarious situation, with the scoreboard reading 47/2, dampening their hopes of a strong start.

 

However, the pair of Saud Shakeel (27) and Mohammad Rizwan (19) showed resilience and steadiness. Together, they managed to add 46 runs from 87 balls, stabilizing Pakistan’s innings to some extent. Yet, the pressure continued to mount as they found themselves at 94/2 after 24 overs, leaving them with the challenge of setting a competitive total in the remaining overs.
