- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR17.1 out for double eight! Changes the angle by coming around the stumps. Not really a yorker, in the slot, but Faf's inside out loft to try and clear long off does not work out. Taken at long off #CaptainFaftastic 168/26.6 and that's a terrific comeback from Rahul Chahar. Tossed up quicker, dips on him and defeats his big heave to the onside, spins through him and knocks the stumps over 50/1Extras23 (b 5, lb 6, w 12)TOTAL205/2 (20 Overs, RR: 10.25)Fall of wickets: 1-50 (Anuj Rawat, 6.6 ov), 2-168 (Faf du Plessis, 17.1 ov)

- BATSMENRBM4s6sSR7.1 he's smacked a short ball straight to square leg. Hasaranga strikes with the first ball of the season, although Mayank will be filthy with himself for not getting a boundary off that long hop. Googly, but dragged short, he rocked back and smacked it but Shahbaz at square leg dives to his right and pulls off a great catch 71/111.2 soft dismissal and #PurplePatel - a nickname he got from last season - has struck. Slower ball, quite full, and Dhawan is through the drive a touch too early. Straight to cover, who takes it at knee height 118/213.1 oops, that will change the forecaster as Siraj gets Rajapaksa. Length ball outside off, he goes for the cut, but can't get it over the infielder. Gobbled up by the man on the circle line 139/314.5 another stunning effort from Rawat as Deep gets the dangerous Livingstone. Full ball, wide outside off. Livingstone tried to flay it over the off side. Wanted to play it over cover point, but gets it to deep extra cover instead. Rawat - usually a keeper - runs in, and then dives forward to take a low catch. Did well to ensure the ball didn't pop out once the elbows his the floor 156/513.2 heartbreaking start for the 2022 U-19 World Cup final's player of the match! Out for a first ball duck. Gets a full toss on leg stump. Bawa is surprised as he tries the flick. Misses the shot, hits the pad, and the umpire raises his finger. Don't bother reviewing that, young man.
