Rinku's departure saw India getting reduced to 79 for 5. India desperately needed Hardik Pandya to deliver and the former vice-captain of the team did not disappoint. He went on to smash a quickfire fifty to guide the team to a good position. He scored 53 runs off just 30 balls before being dismissed in the 18th over.
On the first ball of the 18th over, Hardik Pandya hit the six against Jamie Overton to complete his fifty off just 27 deliveries. It was a full delivery from the England allrounder and Pandya just lofted it down the ground and did not even bother to see where the ball was going.

He was run out on the very last ball of the game. Thanks to the fifties from Pandya and Dube, India recovered from 79 for 5 and posted 181/9.
