India were off to a flying start and set multiple new records in the summit clash. They put up 203/1 in 15 overs, and looked comfortable to add at least another 70 runs to the total.
However, the pacer struck a blow in India’s plans on the first delivery of the 16th over. Sanju Samson, who has been enjoying his recent purple patch, was out at 89, with a running catch at the boundary by substitute fielder Cole McConchie.
