OUT! Caught. Harshit Rana to Khushdil Shah. Off cutter length ball, middle stump deep in crease Slog, mis-timed in the air uncontrolled to deep mid wicket, caught by Kohli. That concludes Pakistan's innings, and it's been a mixed bag of an affair. After losing both openers Saud Shakeel and Muhammad Rizwan were the standout performers, stitching together a solid partnership of 104 runs. However once that partnership was broken by Axar Patel, India's bowlers bounced back strongly, taking regular wickets to keep the pressure on. Khushdil Shah played a crucial cameo at the end, contributing a valuable 38 runs. For India, Kuldeep Yadav was the standout bowler, claiming three wickets, while Hardik Pandya added two more to the tally. Stay tuned for the run chase coming up shortly.

FOUR! Khushdil Shah to Virat Kohli. Stock length ball, wide outside off stump down the track driving, well timed in the air under control past deep extra cover for 4 runs. Century number 51 for Virat Kohli and India secure a comprehensive victory in this highly anticipated match, positioning themselves at the top of the group table. After a foundation was set in a partnership with Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli led the chase brilliantly. Shreyas Iyer supported him from the other end, contributing with a half-century and a century partnership. Pakistan's bowlers made a strong start in this innings, but Kohli's performance and the absence of an extra spinner shifted the momentum in India's favour. Shaheen Afridi claimed two wickets for Pakistan. Virat Kohli is the Player of the Match for his exceptional performance with the bat. Pakistan now must wait for the result of Monday's game to see if they can still qualify for the knockouts.
