Trivedi anchors India\u2019s innings<\/p>\n

Earlier, India were asked to bat first and posted a competitive 252 after being bowled out in 49.5 overs. Openers Vaibhav Sooryavanshi and Aaron George gave India a steady start, reaching 24 without loss in three overs.<\/p>\n

Mohammad Sayyam struck early for Pakistan, dismissing Sooryavanshi for 30 and then removing captain Mhatre for a duck in the same over. Abdul Subhan added to India\u2019s troubles by bowling George for 16, leaving India struggling at 49 for 3 after 10 overs.<\/p>\n

Vedant Trivedi and Vihaan Malhotra then rebuilt the innings with a calm 62-run partnership. Trivedi played the anchor role, reaching his half-century off 74 balls, while Malhotra contributed 21 before falling in the 24th over.<\/p>\n

Late surge pushes India past 250<\/p>\n

India lost wickets at regular intervals, but Trivedi continued to fight, scoring 68 off 98 balls before being dismissed in the 41st over. A vital eighth-wicket stand of 50 runs between Khilan Patel and Kanishk Chouhan gave India the late push they needed.<\/p>\n

Patel struck 21 off 15 balls, while Chouhan added a brisk 35 from 29 deliveries as India crossed the 250 mark.<\/p>\n

For Pakistan, Abdul Subhan (3\/33) and Mohammad Sayyam (2\/69) were the standout bowlers, but the total proved too much to chase as India marched confidently into the semi-finals.<\/p>\n
