India vs Pakistan Live Score: Men in Blue Restrict Pakistan under 250

India put on a clinical bowling display, restricting Pakistan to a modest total in Dubai. Babar Azam showed glimpses of brilliance early on, playing some elegant strokes, but he couldn't capitalize on his start and fell before making a significant impact. Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel stitched together a crucial partnership, yet their scoring rate remained sluggish, drawing criticism for their cautious approach.

Once their stand was broken, Pakistan's batting unit crumbled as India's spinners tightened the screws, picking up wickets at regular intervals and stifling the run flow. Kuldeep Yadav emerged as the standout performer with three wickets, applying relentless pressure in the middle overs. Towards the end, Khushdil Shah provided some much-needed impetus, guiding Pakistan past the 240-run mark.

The surface has been slow and tricky for stroke-making, which could pose challenges for India's chase. It remains to be seen how their batters tackle the conditions and approach the target. PAK 241
