On the 4th delivery, however, Siraj again pitched the delivery up but this time cunningly with a scrambled seam. The Windies batter attempted to drive the ball away from the body expecting an away-swinger. The ball however cut back in off the seam, took Hope's bat's inside edge and dislodged the middle and leg stump. This was a smart move by Siraj, bowling consecutive outswingers and following it up with a scrambled seam ball without changing the length.

Indian bowlers have struggled to pick up wickets in the first powerplay in the ODIs since 2019, but Siraj managed to deal the first blow in the 3rd over itself and burst out in his Cristiano Ronaldo's "Siuu" celebration.
