Meanwhile talking about the match, due to a rain delay, the game was reduced to 19 overs per side. Ishan Kishan started well and smacked two big hits in the first over itself, but his brave inning was cut short by Lungi Ngidi who also got the better of Ruturaj Gaikwad. 

Kishan scored 15 off 7 balls, while Gaikwad managed 10 off 12 balls, as India were reduced to 28/2 as another rain delay interrupted the play after just 21 balls were bowled.
