Pakistan lost key wickets and slipped to 73 for 5 in 11 overs while chasing 176 against India in the T20 World Cup match in Colombo. Usman Khan was the top scorer with 44 before Axar Patel dismissed him to break the stand. Axar finished a tight spell and took two wickets to slow the chase. Kuldeep Yadav also built pressure with spin from the other end. Pakistan had entered this match after a win against the USA in their previous game. Their plan in Colombo relied heavily on multiple spinners to control India’s scoring in the first innings. The chase now needs a strong lower-order effort. (PC: X)
