Along with six wickets in the second innings, Arshdeep also managed three in the first innings and that marked Arshdeep's best match figures of 9 for 90. Notably, he also managed to dismiss India's T20 captain Suryakumar Yadav twice.

In the second innings, Arshdeep got the wicket of Suyash Prabhudessai to start off his spell. He then went on to pick the India B captain Abhimanyu Easwaran and Suryakumar Yadav. The left-arm pacer came back later in the innings to knock over the tail and thus completed his six-wicket haul.

Despite being overlooked for the Test squad in favor of Yash Dayal, Arshdeep made a significant impression with his performance. Along the course of the tournament, the Punjab pacer ended up with 13 wickets in three matches, thus finishing 4th in the wickets tally.
