Overview

• Pakistan posted 171/5 after batting first, their highest T20I total against India when setting a target.
• Jasprit Bumrah returned figures of 0/45 with a couple of no-balls, and a dropped chance off his bowling compounded the damage.
• Shivam Dube halted Pakistan’s surge with 2/33, removing Sahibzada Farhan and Saim Ayub in a momentum-shifting spell.
• Abhishek Sharma’s 74 and Shubman Gill’s 47 powered a 105-run opening stand that set up India’s successful chase.
• Suryakumar’s post-match message urged perspective on short streaks of poor returns as coverage noted Bumrah’s unusually subdued Asia Cup to date.
