On the third ball of the 11th over, Noor Ahmad bowled a delivery that spun away, and Suryakumar Yadav attempted a big drive. He expected a leg spin, but the ball spun away instead. MS Dhoni, behind the stumps, made a brilliant effort to stump him out.
Suryakumar Yadav, who came in to bat at No.4, couldn’t build on his good start. The stand-in captain was dismissed for 29 runs off 26 balls, with a strike rate of over 111, hitting 2 fours and 1 six.
