In the match proceedings, Pakistan's Mohammad Rizwan won the toss and chose to bat first. Pakistan made a strong start with Babar Azam showing excellent form from the beginning, hitting five boundaries.

Azam's batting approach differed significantly from his previous game where he scored fifty runs in 81 balls. He displayed aggressive intent by attacking Axar Patel early, advancing down the pitch to hit a four towards long on.
However, Hardik Pandya cut short Azam's promising innings. The all-rounder induced an outside edge from Azam with a good length delivery moving away, which was caught by wicketkeeper KL Rahul. Pandya gave Azam a send-off gesture as he departed.

Following Azam's dismissal, Imam-ul-Haq was run out for 10 runs from 26 balls, thanks to a direct hit by Axar Patel from mid-on position. This left Pakistan at 47 runs for 2 wickets after 9.2 overs.
Mohammad Rizwan and Saud Shakeel then stabilised Pakistan's innings with a 104-run partnership.
However, Pakistan's momentum was arrested with three wickets in quick succession - across 14 runs in three overs - despite two dropped chances in the Indian camp.
At the time of writing, Pakistan were 183/5 in 40 overs.
