Dhawan hit eight fours and two sixes and scored 44 runs with a leg-side 44 runs.

Rishabh Pant once again clarified why he is currently considered to be one of the most exciting young batsmen in the world. The wicketkeeper-batsman, who came out to bat after Shreyas Iyer's dismissal in the ninth over, almost followed the horn; He contributed 60 runs in the partnership of 84 with the third wicket partnership with Prithvi Shaw. Pant, who made his half-century off 25 balls, remained unbeaten on 78; He scored 72 runs on the leg-side!
