Shahbaz Ahmed managed 8 runs before being caught off spinner Varun Chakravarthy's bowling, and the impact player Abdul Samad was caught behind for 4 runs off Russell. Captain Pat Cummins, scored a brisk 24 off 19 balls, including two fours and a six, but his effort was cut short when he was caught off Russell's bowling.
