India's Yuzvendra Chahal and Arshdeep Singh showcased their brilliance with the ball, taking two wickets each and restricting the opposition's scoring. The chase for 150 runs began on a shaky note for India, as openers Ishan Kishan and Shubman Gill were dismissed early. However, the young talents, Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, revived the Indian innings with a crucial partnership of 45 runs for the third wicket.
After their departures, skipper Hardik Pandya and Sanju Samson kept India's hopes alive by pushing the score beyond the 100-run mark.
