Both Pakistan and India had interesting opening overs. KL Rahul was inside-edged to his stumps by Naseem Shah’s second T20I delivery.In his 100th T20I, Fakhar Zaman dropped Virat Kohli at second slip while chasing a wide ball. With numerous inside and outside edges coming off his bat, Kohli made a jittery start.
He showed off his imposing presence by pulling through mid-wicket off Shahnawaz Dahani in the second over. After a top-edge sailed over the keeper’s head for a six, Kohli showed his authority by slashing through cover and whipping over mid-wicket to earn two boundaries.
Mohammad Nawaz got slog-swept over long on by Rohit Sharma in the ninth over, who had been cautious up until that moment. Rohit grounded out to long-off on the last delivery of the over, handing the victory to the left-arm spinner. In his second over, Nawaz claimed a significant casualty as Kohli chipped directly to long-off.
By slamming Nawaz to the ground for a 98-meter six, Jadeja made his number four debut. In order to keep the scoreboard moving, he and Suryakumar Yadav each hit four, mostly by rotating their strikes.
