Opener Adarsh Singh played a pivotal role in anchoring the Indian batting lineup with a score of 62, but was eventually dismissed by Arafat Minhas. Mohammad Zeeshan managed to quickly remove Rudra Patel (1) and Musheer Khan (2), causing a setback to India’s middle order. However, skipper Uday Sharan steadied the ship, offering some stability to the innings. Both India and Pakistan emerged victorious in their initial Group A matches, with Pakistan currently leading the group on net run-rate.
