After inviting the visitors to bat first in Ahmedabad, India got off to a decent start with Mohammad Siraj producing the first breakthrough in the eighth over.

Post the second dismissal, Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam tried to stabilize the innings and were somewhat successful in it. The two batters added 80 runs in the partnership, but after Babar completed his half-century, he was removed by Mohammad Siraj.
