It was Hardik Pandya and Bhuvneshar on the pitch for the last two overs. And Bhuvi and Mohd Shami for last over as Hardik lost his wicket to Hairs Rauf.
The toss was won by Pakistan, which elected to bowl first. During match, India skipper Virat Kohli said Rahul Chahar, Ishan Kishan, Ravichandran Ashwin and Shardul Thakur are the four non-playing members of the squad. “We are pretty happy with setting the target. We would have bowled first too, but the toss is not in your control. We are pretty balanced with our squad and you need to be prepared for it”.
“We need to stay as professional as possible. We need to stay focused on the processes. Everyone watches it closely all over the world. We need to ensure we don't get too emotional. The pitch looks very different. Evenly rolled and there is no grass at all which was the case during the IPL. We expect the pitch to stay good all through and set a good total.”
