Speaking of India's performance against Babar Azam's side, wicketkeeper batter Ishan Kishan and all-rounder Hardik Pandya grabbed the headlines for their solid show after a top-order failure. The former struck 82 off 81 while Hardik smashed 87 off 90 as India managed to reach a total of 266 in 48.5 overs.

Unfortunately, the heavens then opened up and further play couldn't take place as both sides had to settle with a point each. With this, the Men in Green progressed to the Super Fours while a win over Nepal will take India into the next round too.
