Rohit, Rahul give India a good start

June 16, 2019 15:44

India 53-0 (10 ovs) vs Pak | Scorecard

Spin introduced early as left-arm spinner Imad Wasim comes into the attack, to bowl the ninth over. He replaces Amir, who bowled a tight first spell of eight runs in four overs, including a maiden.

He starts with a wide down the leg side to Rahul, who clips the second ball on the leg side for one.

Rohit also takes one off the next ball before Rahul takes one off the last ball to get four runs from the over.

A lifeline for Rohit as he goes for an impossible second run after Rahul had clipped Riaz to square leg. But Fakhar Zaman throws at the wrong end, at the non-striker end, with Rohit stranded halfway down the pitch who is then able to recover.

No swing for Riaz as he looks to slant it across the right-hander. Rohit defends a short ball on the off-side and then turns the next on the leg side for one.

A single to Rahul to thirdman before Rohit cuts a wide delivery from Riaz past point for a four.

India have made a good start as they reach 53 for no loss in 10 overs, with Rohit racing to 37 from 29 balls and KL Rahul on 14 from 31 balls.
