IND Vs PAK 1st Innings: In A Nutshell

Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bat first. The opening pair of Babar Azam and Imam-ul-Haq registered a 41-run stand before the dismissal of the former at the hands of Hardik Pandya. 6 runs later, his partner joined him back in the hut too, with him throwing away his wicket for a needless single, as Pakistan were 52/2 at the end of batting powerplay.

Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel steadied the ship with a 104-run stand for the 3rd wicket, but the Pakistan skipper scored at a brisk rate, as his 46 runs came off 77 deliveries, with a strike rate of 59.74, and was hence, dismissed by Axar Patel in the 34th over. 

In an attempt to up-the-ante, Saud Shakeel took an aerial risk, but was caught by Axar Patel at the square leg region off Hardik Pandya's bowling, and the dismissal of Saud Shakeel marked the collapse of Pakistan's batting.

The left-handed batter scored a brilliant 62 off 76 balls, but lacked much-needed support from the other hand. Indian spinners spun their web, and scalped the lower-order of Pakistan to reduce them from 151/2, to 222/8.

Kuldeep Yadav starred for India with the ball, with him scalping 3 wickets, and was well-complemented by the likes of Axar Patel and Ravindra Jadeja, who took a wicket-each.

It was an off-day for the pacers, as only Hardik Pandya managed to scalp multiple wickets. Last match's hero, Mohammad Shami, failed to take a wicket, while Harshit Rana opened his account with the last wicket of the innings.
