Pant's 48-ball fifty keeps India afloat

November 03, 2024

India Inns 2: 92-6 (20 ovs); Target to win: 147 | Scorecard

Sundar, on 3, gets a lifeline as he heaves Ajaz over midwicket. He hasn't timed the ball well as it goes high towards midwicket as Devon Conway rushes to his right and gets a hand to the ball but can't hold on.

He slices the next ball but it falls safely to get him a single.

Pant picks up the length early to rock back and pull Ajaz's short ball through midwicket for a four.

He pulls the next ball square on the leg side to bring up his fifty from 48 balls, having hit seven fours and a six.

What a sensational knock under pressure from Pant. He seems to be batting on a completely different pitch and has been finding the boundaries quite reguarly.

While the other batters have fallen trying rash shots, Pant's shot selection has been impeccable.
