Sahibzada Farhan top-scored with 58, while Faheem Ashraf added late impetus with an unbeaten 20 off eight balls, as Pakistan posted 171/5 in their 20 overs. But just after an early drinks break, taken as Gill received treatment for cramps, Pakistan struck twice in quick succession. Abhishek shook off a brief post-fifty lull by collecting two boundaries off Ashraf, and then lofted Abrar over wide long-on for six. With India needing only 49 off 46 balls, Varma and Sanju Samson hung around to keep the scoreboard ticking. Though a scratchy Samson was castled by Rauf, Tilak and Hardik Pandya nudged the ball around calmly for boundaries to take India home.
