India seemed to have a positive start against the home side but Mark Adair’s magical delivery forced Ishan Kishan to go back to the pavilion.
Deepak Hooda with no mistakes smashed a wonderful knock in the same ground and has the opportunity yet again to prove that he can be a possible top order batsman, whenever required for team India.
India have smashed 30 runs in 4 overs at the loss of Ishan Kishan’s critical wicket.
India won the toss and opted to bat first which was a reasonable decision to give advantage to the Hardik-led team’s batting unit to put up a score which can break records in the ICC history.
India managed to smash the target of 109 runs in just 9 easy overs which gives a perfect balance to team India and the attacking visitors have proved their capability to smash at least 200 runs in 20 overs, if not more.
Hardik Pandya and their side are playing with 3 tactical changes as Ruturaj’s niggle in the previous game gives Sanju Samson an opportunity to prove his comeback. Harshal Patel will be replacing Avesh Khan for some slower and magical deliveries, and young spinner Ravi Bishnoi gets an opportunity to take hold of the position in place of Yuzvendra Chahal.
