However, Rohit Sharma’s explosive 66 off just 36 balls made a great recovery for his team after star batsmen failed to score. He smashed six fours and four sixes.
Sharma along with tail-enders added 60 runs in just four overs to reach 142-8 in the allotted 20 overs.
Pace-men Mohammad Asif, Rajat Bhatia and Farveez Mahroof claimed two wickets each.
