The first half of the match played over two days hasn’t been good if you’re a Pakistan fan. Babar Azam’s men have been second-best so far — if even that.
They have been set a humongous total of 357 to chase but all will be forgotten if they somehow pull it off. And if it has to happen, then we all know Babar will have to bat through the innings.
The high-voltage Pakistan-India clash resumed on Monday after hours of delay due to a wet outfield but thankfully no overs were lost.
