Iftikhar Ahmed changed the momentum for Pakistan’s side as the dominance against spinners resulted in a subtle growth of the team’s run rate as well as benefited the batsman with a magnificent completion of his half-century.

Axar Patel got smashed for 21 runs in his first over as Pakistan are reaching 100-run board after a slow start by the openers who failed to perform tonight.

Arshdeep Singh has sent both of the in-form openers back to the pavilion, proving how fiery he is. India’s first wicket was taken by Arshdeep Singh as the MCG cheered in blue, forcing Pakistani captain Babar Azam to return without scoring a single score. With a flawless delivery that caused LBW, Indian pacer Arshdeep Singh forced Babar Azam to walk back with a golden duck. Babar Azam chose DRS, but his attempt was eventually unsuccessful because the system marked the choice as “OUT.”
