The top order failed to fire, with captain Mohammed Amman dragging his way to a painstaking 16 off 43 balls. Despite a fighting 67 from Nikhil Kumar, the Indian batting line-up lacked partnerships, especially after the dismissal of Ayush Mhatre.
Mhatre, who scored 20 off 18 balls with five exquisite boundaries, looked a class apart during his brief stay. However, a sharp rising delivery from Abdul Subhan caught his outside edge, leaving the young batter disappointed.
