Meanwhile, India have set a target of 267 runs for Pakistan in the second game of the Asia Cup 2023 at the Pallkele International Cricket Stadium on Saturday.
Ishan Kishan (82) and Hardik Pandya (87) built a strong fifth wicket partnership to help India build a fighting total after the top order, including skipper Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli failed to perform due to thrilling bowling by the Pakistani pacers.
Shaheen Afridi took three wickets, while Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah took three wickets each, to restrict the rival team to 266.
