India- chasing the score:

During the chase, Rohit Sharma was dismissed making a duck as he was run out unluckily because his partner Shubman Gill, didn’t hear the call for the run made by his captain. Yet young Indian batters showcased their potential in the very 1st match and Shivam Dube made his 2nd half-century in T-20. He made an incredible 60 runs in just 40 balls and ended the match with a winning shot. Mujeeb Ur Rahman was the only bowler to take 2 wickets while Azmatullah Omarzai grabbed 1.
