As far as the match is concerned, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam won the toss and elected to bowl first. Indian openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill provided a solid foundation as they both scored half-centuries. After their dismissals following a 100-run opening partnership, Virat Kohli and KL Rahul assumed charge of the batting. However, the rain god had a different plan as it started pouring heavily in the 25th over of India's innings, causing the match to be halted.
