The rain did cause frustration a couple of times, but the Indians didn’t lose the plot and posted an imposing total at the Edgbaston Cricket Ground. They batted deep, and hammered the Pakistan bowlers all over the park.

Wahab Riaz, in particular, received severe thrashing in the death overs. He, however, had to limp off the ground after injuring his ankle. Mohammad Amit, too, suffered an injury and couldn’t complete his quota of overs.

“The partnership between Rohit and Shikhar allowed us to bat deep,” Yuvraj said. “I think it’s a very good batting wicket. Because of the rain interruptions, you have to give yourself time.”

In the last four overs, Indians scored as many as 72 runs, while losing the wicket of Yuvraj. Meanwhile, the final over of the innings bowled by Imad Wasim fetched them 23 runs. India lost just three wickets in the innings.

Hasan Ali dismissed Yuvraj, while Shadab Khan got the wicket of Dhawan. Rohit got ran out.
