Haris Rauf kept things tight this time. Gill and Abhishek rotated strike with a couple of singles and a two, but the pacer’s variations—especially his cutters—challenged the batters.

Abhishek Sharma ne over ka pura momentum apne naam kar liya — ek stylish shovel-pull se chaar run aur fir square leg ke upar se bada six! Gill ne bhi ek tezi se single liya aur Abhishek ko strike pe rakha. India ke openers abhi tak bina wicket gavaaye comfortable lag rahe hain, dono aggressive intent ke saath khel rahe hain.

IND: 19/0 | CRR: 9.50 • RRR: 8.50 • Need 153 from 108b

Saim Ayub introduced early but Shubman Gill wasted no time in putting him under pressure. Back-to-back boundaries — a classy extra cover drive and a fine sweep — highlighted Gill’s intent. Abhishek too chipped in with a single as India maintained the upper hand. Both openers looking settled, and Pakistan’s gamble with spin hasn’t paid off yet.

End of Over 1: India 9/0

Over 1: 6 1 • 1 • 1

IND: 9/0 | CRR: 9.00 • RRR: 8.57 • Need 163 from 114b

Shivam Dube removes Saim Ayub as India get their second breakthrough.

Shivam Dube struck in his very first over, dismissing Saim Ayub with a sharp catch taken by Abhishek Sharma at deep backward square. Ayub’s pull shot off a short ball ballooned up and Abhishek made no mistake this time after two earlier drops. Hussain Talat walked in at No. 4 but struggled to get going against Dube’s variations. A no-ball and wide added extras, but only five runs came in the over along with the big wicket. Pakistan reached 96/2 after 11 overs, with Farhan solid on 53 and Talat just beginning his innings.

Kuldeep Yadav’s second over proved expensive as both Pakistani batters went on the attack. Saim Ayub danced down the track first ball and smashed him over long-on for six, before Farhan followed with a towering strike of his own in the same region. Kuldeep nearly had Farhan stumped, but replays showed his toe was grounded. Despite a couple of dot balls, 13 runs came off the over, taking Pakistan to 83/1 after 9 overs with the partnership flourishing.

Kuldeep Yadav came into the attack and mixed his variations well. Farhan and Ayub worked singles down the ground but couldn’t break free. A wide down leg added to the score, but otherwise Kuldeep kept a firm hold with his drift and googly. Pakistan managed only five runs in the over, closing the powerplay at 60/1 in 7 overs, with Farhan steady on 31 and Ayub on 11.

Over 6: 1 4 0 1 3 4

Jasprit Bumrah continued but was taken on by Sahibzada Farhan, who struck him for two crisp fours — one through midwicket and another lofted over extra cover. Saim Ayub added a flick and a driven three as Pakistan’s fifty came up. Bumrah did beat Farhan once with a yorker-length ball, but overall the batters dominated. Thirteen runs came from the over, Pakistan racing along at 55/1 after 6 overs.

Farhan managed another single, while Ayub defended the last ball. Pakistan scored 10 off the over, moving to 36/1 after 4 overs, with Farhan looking positive against the Indian pacers.

PAK: 26/1 | CRR: 8.66

Hardik Pandya gets the big wicket of Fakhar Zaman.

Hardik Pandya struck in his second over, removing Fakhar Zaman after a sharp low catch taken by Sanju Samson behind the stumps. Fakhar’s quickfire 15 off 9 balls gave Pakistan early momentum with three boundaries, but his dismissal halted the charge. Saim Ayub, promoted to No. 3, opened his account with a powerful pull for four but survived a fiery short-ball wide and defended solidly thereafter. Nine runs and a wicket from the over, with Pakistan 26/1 after 3 overs.

Jasprit Bumrah came into the attack but Fakhar Zaman was in attacking mood, dancing down to flick and slap consecutive boundaries. He also picked up a couple of runs early in the over, racing to 11 off 6 balls. Sahibzada Farhan remained quiet at the other end, yet to add to his score. Pakistan’s openers are off to a brisk start, reaching 17/0 after 2 overs.

End of Over 1: Pakistan 6/0

Over 1: 0 0 2 2 0 2

PAK: 6/0 | CRR: 6.00

Farhan survives a dropped chance as Pakistan start cautiously.

Hardik Pandya opened the bowling and found some early movement. Sahibzada Farhan had a big let-off when Abhishek dropped a tough chance at deep third, before adding a couple of twos with clips and pushes. Fakhar Zaman is yet to face a ball, while Farhan managed all six runs in the over. A steady start for Pakistan, but India could rue that early missed opportunity.

Toss Update

India win the toss and elect to bowl first

6.00pm India have won the toss and they’ll bowl first. The captains do not shake hands again. Handshake between SKY and Pycroft but not Agha and Pycroft. Suryakumar says yesterday at training there was a lot of dew, which has influenced his decision. He adds that they’ve been playing like all matches are knockouts so nothing changes. He highlights the differences between the Abu Dhabi and Dubai pitches, Dubai playing slower. Bumrah and Varun come back. Looks like Axar is able and ready to play then.

Pre-Toss Preview

Important toss in dew-affected Dubai conditions
