Gill, Kohli Takes India Forward Chasing 242 To Win
Shubman Gill, who scored a century against Bangladesh, got his innings off to a flier as well. He hit a few sumptuous shots and especially against Shaheen. Virat Kohli joined Gill after the loss of Rohit's wicket and he has started cautiously as well. He just got to double figures.
Both Kohli and Gill got a life in Haris Rauf's first over. While Kohli got a life as his shot fell short of Naseem Shah at third man, Gill was dropped by Khushdil Shah inside the 30-yard circle. During his innings against Pakistan, Kohli also went past 14000 ODI runs and was the quickest to get to the landmark.
Kohli and Gill have continued the run-scoring for India as Pakistan are still in search of wickets. Their bowlers are looking a bit desperate with their fielders not backing up the bowlers. Two drop chances in Haris Rauf's first over has taken the sting out his overs as well. After he went for just three in his first over, Rauf went for 14 in his second.
India still need more than 150 runs to win this game and if Pakistan ends up losing this match, they will be eliminated from this tournament. They lost to the Kiwis in their first match which was also the first match of the tournament.
