Kishan’s explosive performance allowed India to build a solid total of 175/7, with contributions from Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav. Pakistan’s batting struggled from the start, losing wickets early on to India’s bowlers.
Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah led India’s bowling attack, dismantling Pakistan’s batting lineup. Despite a fighting 44 by Usman Khan, Pakistan’s lower order collapsed, leading to their defeat by 61 runs.
