Rain halts play with India at 147/2 in 24.1 overs. KL Rahul is at the crease with 17 runs from 28 balls, while Virat Kohli has scored 8 runs from 16 balls.
Both Virat Kohli and KL Rahul manage to take singles off Shadab Khan's over. Pakistan is having a good phase, looking for another wicket to gain control. India, although in a decent position, aims to maintain momentum despite the recent setbacks.
Pakistan strikes again! Shaheen Afridi brings them back into the game with a smart piece of bowling. He delivers a slower ball perfectly on a good length spot, and Shubman Gill, the set batter, fails to spot it. Gill is early into the drive, checks his shot, and tamely lobs it to cover. Agha Salman accepts the easy catch. Shubman Gill departs after a fine innings of 58 off 52 balls, including 10 boundaries.
India has reached 121 for no loss in 16.3 overs, maintaining a run rate of 7.33. Rohit Sharma remains unbeaten at 56 off 48 deliveries with 4 boundaries and 1 six, while Shubman Gill has scored an impressive 58 off 51 balls, including 5 fours and 1 six, at a strike rate of 113.73.
