Pakistan’s batting collapse continued in Dubai as Kuldeep Yadav picked up his third wicket of the evening. Sahibzada Farhan, who was holding one end together, tried to break free but ended up mistiming a big shot. The ball went high and was taken comfortably by Hardik Pandya.

Farhan scored 40 off 44 balls, including one four and three sixes, before falling to Kuldeep’s clever variation. With this, Pakistan lost their 7th wicket at 83 in 16.1 overs, leaving their lower order exposed against India’s spin attack.

India’s bowlers, led by Hardik Pandya and Kuldeep Yadav, have dominated the first half of the innings, sending Pakistan’s top and middle order back cheaply.
