A nervy little run chase for team India, don’t let the scoreboard trick you. They lost both Kohli and Rohit within 3 overs, as Netralvakar dismissed both openers to leave India at 10/2. Pant and Suryakumar stitched a partnership for a bit, but the southpaw got a skiddy delivery from Ali Khan that kept low and knocked over his stumps.
The middle phase saw India’s batters pretty much go into a shell, as they played very slowly but managed to keep their wickets intact. Suryakumar Yadav took his time today, but proved that he could anchor a chase as well if needed.
Dube started a bit tentatively but found his form later on as India got through a tricky period on a tricky surface to get over the line with more than an over to spare. Stick around for the presentations.
