An impressive bowling performance by India as they have restricted Pakistan to a ordinary total in Dubai. Babar Azam played a few good-looking shots earlier in the day, however, he wasn’t able to carry on and convert his start into a formidable total. Rizwan and Shakeel added some crucial runs following that, but the run rate wasn’t great when the two batters were out there in the middle. Their wickets triggered a mini batting collapse as the Indian spinners kept taking wickets at regular intervals and kept a lid on the scoring rate. Kuldeep with three wickets was the pick of the bowlers for India, while Khushdil added some pivotal runs towards the end and helped Pakistan get over the 240-run mark. The pitch isn’t that easy to bat on, it’s quite sluggish, hence it will be interesting to see how the Indian batters go about in the run chase..
