Indian spinners stole the show, picking up six wickets collectively. Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy stood out with two wickets each, while Washington Sundar and Abhishek Sharma shared one wicket apiece.

In reply, India lost wickets at regular intervals while chasing.

Another twist came when Liam Livingstone dismissed Arshdeep Singh, leaving India 20 runs short of victory.

Tilak Varma and Ravi Bishnoi then put together an unbroken 20-run partnership for the ninth wicket to lead India to victory. Tilak top-scored with an unbeaten 72 runs and was named Player of the Match.
