India posted 175\/7 in their 20 overs, with Ishan Kishan top-scoring through a blistering 77 off 40 balls. Pakistan\u2019s spinners dominated the innings by bowling 18 of the 20 overs, with Saim Ayub picking 3-25 to peg India back after Kishan\u2019s dismissal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tariq, who generated a lot of eyeballs due to the pause in his deliveries and varying degrees of release points and variations, bowled tidily in the middle overs to pick 1-24, where he dismissed India captain Suryakumar Yadav.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIndia and Pakistan game is huge. The vibes are really good, was having a great experience. It was kind of a dream,\u201d Tariq said to broadcasters in the mid-innings break.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Asked about how he adapted his bowling to the slow pitch, Tariq said, \u201cPitch was quite slow. I have been to the CPL, so have experience of it and stuff. I just kept the momentum of their bat low and we are on the safe side now.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Tariq further expressed confidence over Pakistan\u2019s batting unit overhauling the target. \u201cOf course, of course. The batters of our team have great momentum and the intent they have shown, shows our mind is clear and hopefully, we can chase it down,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

With spin already playing a decisive role in the match, the chase is expected to test Pakistan\u2019s batting discipline on a surface offering grip and turn, especially with the formidable Indian bowling line-up comprising spinners Axar Patel, Varun Chakaravarthy and Kuldeep Yadav. <\/p>\r\n\r\n
