India’s bowlers continue to dominate the high-voltage clash in Dubai as Axar Patel struck again, dismissing Pakistan skipper Salman Agha for just 3 off 12 deliveries.
Salman, who had just survived a close DRS call a couple of overs earlier, failed to make it count. Trying to sweep a delivery that was bowled slower through the air at 85kph, he only managed to top-edge it. Abhishek Sharma completed a sharp catch, sending the Pakistan captain back to the pavilion.
At the end of 10 overs, Pakistan are 49/4, with Sahibzada Farhan holding the innings together on 22 runs. Hasan Nawaz has just arrived at the crease with the scoreboard under immense pressure.
With Axar Patel already picking up two crucial wickets, India are firmly in control, tightening the screws on their arch-rivals.
