Virat Kohli steers India after early collapse

Asked to bat first, India suffered an early collapse, losing both their openers - Rohit Sharma (0 off 1) and KL Rahul (3 off 8) - to Shaheen Afridi (3 for 31). Struggling at 6 for 2, Virat Kohli steadied the ship to put his side back on track.

Kohli first added 25 runs for the third wicket alongside Suryakumar Yadav, before adding another 53 runs with Rishabh Pant to put the Men in Blue in line for a perfect finish. The Indian captain played a crucial knock of 57 runs from 49 balls, including five boundaries and a solitary six.

Two late boundaries from Hardik Pandya (11 off 8) propelled India to 151 runs at the end of 20 overs. India now want a clinical performance from their bowlers to defend the target and keep their winning run against Pakistan in World Cups going.
