Vaibhav also hit a four in the fourth over. Then, in the seventh over, Vaibhav scored 10 runs off two balls, including a four and a six. Meanwhile, Aaron George was also slowly building his innings.

Vaibhav tried to pull the ball and the ball took the edge of his bat and went behind the wicket, where Hamza Zahoor made no mistake in taking the catch. With this, Vaibhav's 30-run innings from 22 balls ended. He hit five fours and a six.
