In a thrilling last over, India needed seven runs to win. Rinku Singh‘s boundary on the first ball and a run off the second brought Akshar Patel to the crease.
However, Akshar’s attempt to play a big shot led to his dismissal. Subsequent wickets fell, and India required one run off the last ball.
Despite Rinku Singh hitting a six on the last ball, the victory was sealed with a no-ball, preventing Rinku from adding six runs to his score.
