In this match, the 73-run partnership for the third wicket between Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Nawaz snatched the victory from India.

3 Mistakes Proved Costly for India
India’s bowling concerns
Bhuvneshwar Kumar, the most experienced member of the team, conceded 19 runs in the 19th over of the game, while Yuzvendra Chahal conceded 43 runs in his four overs. In the absence of Jasprit Bumrah and Harshal Patel, the Indian bowling unit is struggling to make the impact they are known for.
Arshdeep Singh drops a crucial catch
Arshdeep Singh dropped an easy catch to give Pakistan’s Asif Ali a life in the 18th over which completely changed the pace in Pakistan’s favour. Although Arshdeep eventually dismissed the middle-order batsman in his final over, he failed to defend seven runs as Pakistan won the match by 5 wickets.
