Suryakumar Yadav had won the toss and asked the neighbors to bat. Pakistan openers Sahibzada Farhan and Fakhar Zaman stitched an 84-run stand in 9.3 overs before the former departed for 57 off only 38 deliveries.

At 113/1 in the 13th over of the innings, the Men in Green were still on their way to a big score. It was then that Pakistan collapsed and lost their remaining nine wickets for only 33 runs to be bowled out for 146 in 19.1 overs. Kuldeep Yadav was the pick of the bowlers with figures of 4-0-30-4.

Contrary to expectations, India's top order, comprising Abhishek Sharma (5), Shubman Gill (12), and Suryakumar Yadav (1), fell cheaply as they found themselves at 20/3 within the powerplay. But Tilak Varma withstood the pressure, sharing half-century partnerships with Sanju Samson (24) and Shivam Dube (33).

Rinku Singh, who played his first ball of the tournament, hit the winning runs. Tilak earned the Player of the Match award for an unbeaten innings of 69 runs.
