The Indian team is being captained by Rituraj Gaikwad, who could not even open the account. This is the first clash in the two-match series.

At the same time, in-form Abhimanyu Easwaran also returned to the pavilion with a small score of 7 runs. Sai Sudarshan and Devdutt Padikkal played innings of 21 runs and 36 runs respectively.
At one time, the Indian team had scored 71 runs after losing 3 wickets, but after that such a series of wickets falling started that within the next 36 runs the entire team was all out. At one time, even scoring 100 runs seemed like a huge task for India, but in the last overs, Navdeep Saini played a small but important inning of 23 runs and contributed in taking the team’s score beyond 100 runs.
Gaikwad-Nitish-Ishaan failed
