- February 23, 2025 18:27India dismantles Pakistan!
Another meek performance with the bat by Pakistan. It lost its last eight wickets for just 90 runs. Saud Shakeel and Mohammad Rizwan added 104 runs for the third wicket, but just as they started to inject some momentum into their partnership, they fell in quick succession. From there on, there was hardly any fight shown by the rest of the batters, barring Khushdil Shah. India should back itself to get 242, but this could be a tricky surface, as India learnt during the run-chase against Bangladesh.
We will be back with the run-chase in about 30 minutes. Stay tuned!

He gets a leading edge after stepping out to heave this on leg-side and Jadeja settles under the ball at cover. OUT! Consecutive wickets for Kuldeep as Shaheen is caught in front of the stumps off the backfoot. Given by the umpire straightway and Shaheen goes upstairs. That was a horrible review as this is hitting middle of middle stump. Naseem Shah comes in and defends the hat-trick ball to deny Kuldeep.
Salman Agha c Ravindra Jadeja b Kuldeep Yadav 19 (24b)

- February 23, 2025 17:406PAK 197/5 in 42 overs

- February 23, 2025 16:58PAK 150/2 in 33 overs

- February 23, 2025 16:45PAK 129/2 in 30 overs
Axar is back into the attack. Shakeel misses the reverse-sweep off the last ball of the over. Another appeal, not given, and Rohit will not review.
- February 23, 2025 16:41PAK 126/2 in 29 overs
