Sahibzada hit the very first ball of the over for a four, putting pressure on Harmeet, who had been wicket-less until then.

The Pakistani then rotated the strike to Nawaz, taking a single off the third delivery, following a dot ball.

Another single off the fourth delivery put Sahibzada on the strike again, who hit the next ball hard up into the air but was caught out by Sanjay Krishnamurthi.

Harmeet conceded seven runs in the over, with Pakistani batsmen adding two more runs to the scoreboard off the last delivery.
