The next delivery is a yorker that catches Lalit's edge and races to the boundary for a FOUR! The following ball is a bit short and wide, causing the batter to miss and resulting in a dot ball. And he's BOWLED! Lalit is dismissed as he steps out and fails to connect with the ball.
FOUR! Porel elegantly opens his bat and expertly slices the ball through point, leaving all the fielders behind as it reaches the boundary. Another FOUR! Porel confidently steps out and skillfully slices the ball over the covers for yet another boundary. A single is taken before Fraser-Mc-Gurk faces a yorker, but manages to cut it through the covers for another boundary. And a massive SIX! Fraser-McGurk confidently lofts the ball over long-on for a maximum, finishing the over in style.
Washington is facing Fraser-McGurk, who punishes him with two fours and a six to start off the over! Another four as he strikes it through the covers for a boundary! And now a six as he lofts it over long off for a maximum. Fraser-McGurk is on fire! Another six with a similar shot and a similar result!
The bowler pitches the ball too wide off-stump, allowing Fraser-McGurk to slash it through point for a boundary. The next delivery results in an outside edge, and the batter manages to sneak a quick single. Warner is caught at mid-on after a cheap top-edge.
Shaw begins Washington's over with a powerful display, hitting three consecutive fours followed by another boundary. However, his aggressive approach leads to his downfall as he attempts to loft the ball over the covers, only to be caught by Samad.
Kuldeep bowled the last over with precision. A single was scored on the first ball, followed by Nitish expertly stealing a double on the leg side. The crowd erupted as Nitish executed a perfect reverse sweep over short third for a magnificent six.
Axar is bowling his final over. A single is scored on the first ball, followed by four singles off the next four balls. Shahbaz then executes a brilliant sweep shot, sending the ball soaring over fine leg for a magnificent six.
Klaasen confidently sends the ball soaring for a maximum with a lofted shot. Pant appeals for a caught behind, believing Klaasen's edge was close to the ball, but the review is lost as there was no contact with the bat. Klaasen follows up with another impressive six, this time getting on one knee and lofting it over mid-on. A wide and a dot ball are bowled next. The bowler pitches it outside off, causing the batter to miss completely, resulting in a wide being signaled. Klaasen is finally caught at long on, ending his innings at 89.
Mukesh Kumar to Head, drives the ball through the off-side for a boundary! And another one! The batter elegantly lofts it over the covers for yet another boundary.

Two more fours quickly follow suit, building the excitement. And then, a massive six is hit next! Head pulls the ball over deep square leg for a maximum.
Lalit Yadav comes into the attack. Travis Head smashes it over long on twice for two massive hits. A dot ball follows. Head then cuts it through point for a boundary. He flicks it on the on-side for a single. Another boundary! Abhishek lofts it over point for another four.
Six! Travis Head hits a powerful shot over forward square for a maximum. He follows it up with a strong cut through point for a four, and then another four with a pull shot on the on-side.

Rishabh Pant: We're going to bowl first. Wicket looks pretty good, we would like to chase because we are playing more as a batting unit. We have more batters. Maybe there will be dew. The only thing we said is "stay in the contest". Yes they've been playing really good cricket but you can't let them get away with it. Ground doesn't matter, end of the day you have to play good cricket. We're looking to improve each and every match. Instead of Sumit, Lalit comes in. Instead of Ishant, Nortje comes in.
Pat Cummins: The way the boys have been batting, we know teams are going to come hard at us. Same batting lineup, we'll have a look at the bowling a little later on.
