India’s Chase: A Nightmare Unfolds
Chasing 348 on a surface that rewarded intent, India’s decision to bowl first aged poorly. A brief blaze from Vaibhav Suryavanshi (26 off 10) teased resistance before the collapse began.
From 49/3 inside five overs, it was a procession. Pakistan’s attack pressed every seam and squeezed every inch. Ali Raza set the tone, and the supporting cast swarmed:
-
Mohammad Sayyam 2/38
-
Abdul Subhan 2/29
-
Huzaifa Ahsan 2/12
Deepesh Devendran’s 36 off 16 delayed the inevitable, but the end was swift. India’s powerplay—68/3—offered no shelter. The innings folded at 156, and the gulf between preparation and performance stood exposed.
