Sri Lankans never miss flying, and Eshan Malinga made no mistake. A crisp catch off his own ball ended Rishabh Pant's show in another shamble. Malinga cleverly takes the pace off and targets a yorker on leg stump. Pant, attempting to smother it, ends up misjudging the delivery. Instead of keeping it down, he chips it gently back in the air. Malinga reacts swiftly in his follow-through, dives to his left, and takes a sharp, tumbling catch. It's a moment of brilliance from the veteran bowler. Another disappointing outing for Pant, who continues to struggle this season.

The duo stitched a massive 115-run opening stand in just 10.3 overs, setting a perfect foundation for a high-scoring innings. Marsh struck 6 fours and 4 sixes at a brisk strike rate of 166.66, while Markram matched the tempo with 4 fours and 4 sixes, scoring at 160.52. Nicholas Pooran added late firepower with a blistering 45 off 26 balls, including 6 boundaries and a six, striking at 173.07. However, a mini-collapse in the last five overs saw LSG lose 6 wickets for just 40 runs. Shardul Thakur's cameo (4 off 1 ball) and Akash Deep’s unbeaten six off the final delivery pushed them past 200. For the bowling side, Eshan Malinga stood out with figures of 2/28, including the key wicket of Pant. Harsh Dubey, Harshal Patel, and Nitish Kumar Reddy took one wicket each, though Patel and Reddy proved expensive, conceding over 12 runs an over. Despite a strong start, LSG's finish slightly faltered, but the scoreboard pressure of 205 remains significant.
