New Delhi: Pakistan are 74/6. India have smartly taken control of the game in the middle overs through their spinners. Meanwhile, Axar Patel has been the most effective in these overs. Suryakumar has been smart in distributing the bowlers — he indicated that Varun and Kuldeep have been kept for the later stages, while Abhishek Sharma has been the one to contribute immediately after the drinks break.
Salman Ali Agha was sent back to the pavilion by Axar Patel with a clever catch. He threw the ball softly in the air – around 85 kmph – which landed outside the off stump and picked up a little bounce. Salman went for the sweep shot but the ball took the top edge of the bat and went into the air.

Abhishek Sharma, standing at the square leg boundary, made no mistake and took the catch easily. Salman returned after scoring just 3 runs (off 12 balls) and India had taken full control by the middle stage of the match.
