Chasing 147, India had an early collapse as Abhishek Sharma (5), Suryakumar Yadav (1) and Shubman Gill (12) fell quickly, leaving the team reeling at 20 for three inside four overs. Tilak Varma (69* off 53 balls) then balanced the Indian innings with Sanju Samson (24), putting on a 57-run stand before Samson was dismissed by Abrar Ahmed in the 13th over.
After that, Tilak was joined by Shivam Dube (33 off 22 balls), and they both added 60 runs to put pressure on Pakistani bowlers. The game went down to the last over, where Rinku Singh struck the winning boundary off the only ball he faced in the tournament.
