The duo’s stand helped stabilize India’s innings. However, Benjamin White managed to dismiss Sanju Samson for 40 runs off 26 balls. Later in the innings, Rinku Singh and Shivam Dube made impactful cameos, contributing significantly to the final score. During the last two overs, Rinku Singh scored 38 runs off 21 balls, while Shivam Dube remained unbeaten with 22 runs off 16 balls.
