Powered by Sam Konstas’ impressive 107 off 97 balls and Hanno Jacobs’ steady 61 off 60, the Prime Minister’s XI set a target of 240 runs.
India’s standout bowler, Harshit Rana, delivered a notable performance, taking four key wickets for 44 runs in six overs. In reply, Indian openers KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal began cautiously, moving to 8/0 after five overs.
However, Jaiswal soon shifted gears, launching an aggressive assault that included back-to-back boundaries off Jack Nisbet, raising the intensity of the match.In retaliation, Nisbet adjusted his approach, coming over the wicket and delivering a short ball around leg stump.
The ball bounced unexpectedly high as Jaiswal attempted to duck, brushing his gloves and falling just short of backward point, narrowly avoiding a potential injury.
The tense moment escalated as Nisbet stared down Jaiswal and made a provocative gesture, prompting a visibly annoyed Jaiswal to respond with heated words.
