Pakistan posting 347 runs put India under extreme scoreboard pressure right from the chase.
Sameer Minhas’ 172 off 113 balls completely took the game away from India and exposed the bowling attack.
Except Khilan Patel, almost every Indian bowler went at over 6 runs per over, allowing Pakistan to build momentum.
India needed a strong start, but Vaibhav Suryavanshi and Ayush Mhatre fell early, triggering a collapse.
None of the Indian top-order batters crossed 20 runs, and there were no stabilising partnerships.
Chasing 348 in a final against Pakistan brought mental pressure, leading to poor shot selection and rash dismissals.
