On the other hand, Team India made three big changes to the playing XI for the blockbuster encounter as Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda and Ravi Bishnoi replaced Dinesh Karthik, Ravindra Jadeja and Avesh Khan.

Openers KL Rahul and Rohit Sharma provided India with a flying start and both the openers looked in excellent touch. Pacer Haris Rauf got the first breakthrough for his side in the 6th over by dismissing skipper Rohit Sharma, who scored 28 runs at a strike rate of 175, and at the end of the powerplay, India were at 62/1.

Shadab Khan picked up the second wicket of the match by dismissing KL Rahul for 28 in the 7th over and Mohammad Nawaz cleaned up Suryakumar Yadav for 13 in the 10th over.

Young wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant failed to make any big impact and he got dismissed by Shadab Khan in 14th over after scoring a 12-ball 14. The top performer of the previous India-Pakistan clash, Hardik Pandya, was dismissed by Mohammad Hasnain for a duck in the 15th over.

Deepak Hooda, who scored 16 runs off 14 balls, got out in the 19th over and Virat Kohli, who scored an incredible 60 runs off 44 balls, got out in the 20th over. Leg-spinner Ravi Bishnoi smashed back-to-back fours on the last two deliveries of the innings to help India reach 181/7.

Chasing the target, Pakistan once again lost the wicket of Babar Azam early on in the innings. The Pakistan captain was cleaned up by Ravi Bishnoi in the 4th over. Fakhar Zaman scored a poor 18-ball 15, before being dismissed by Yuzvendra Chahal in the 9th over.
