India were in control of the contest having dismissed Mohammad Rizwan and Mohammad Nawaz who had taken the game away from the Men in Blue. The wicket of Ali then would have most likely sealed India’s win, with Arshdeep’s drop proving to be the crucial turning point.
Asif Ali made full use of the opportunity, combining well with Iftikhar Ahmed to score 19 off Bhuvneshwar Kumar to put the game to bed. While Arshdeep tried redeeming himself with pinpoint yorkers to dismiss Asif, the Men in Green eventually sealed a five-wicket win on Sunday.
