Both the openers perished in quick succession. However, Sediqullah Atal (22 off 16) chipped in with a handy cameo. Karun Nair (44 off 27) and Sameer Rizvi (58* off 25) then featured in a defining fourth-wicket stand of 62. Nair celebrated his comeback to the Test team with a blazing innings. He took on Praveen Dubey in the 11th over and clubbed him for four consecutive fours.

Rizvi struck three fours and five sixes in his wonderful knock, ensuring DC did not suffer even after Harpreet Brar knocked over Nair. The youngster raced to his half-century off only 22 balls and brought up the winning runs in style, sweeping a full delivery from Marcus Stoinis for a maximum.
