274 to win. Should not be too much of a problem for the Indians. They could have chased 50-60 less but the batsmen get another opportunity to score some runs under the belt. Especially the openers. Stay tuned.
Excellent comeback by India. At one stage, they were staring at a total in excess of 300. But Shardul Thakur got them back in the game. First, he dismissed Tom Blundell and then, three overs later, produced a spectacular throw to run Martin Guptill out. Saini was impeccable, although wicketless while Chahal and Jadeja applied the choke perfectly. 20-0-93-4 between them. Jasprit Bumrah continues to be a worry. Since injury, he looks a shade of himself, not producing those magical inswingers or outswingers or even the yorkers. Today, he even went for runs. India will hope that he is truly fit.
