India Vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match
Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, Indian batters struggled on this tricky surface, with top openers Virat Kohli (4) and Rohit Sharma (13) unable to score large. Rishabh Pant (42 from 31 balls, six fours) appeared to be playing on a separate pitch.
