Tinotenda Maposa is back into the attack, and Suryakumar Yadav wastes no time welcoming him -- launching a stunning boundary straight into the stands. He follows it up with a single to keep the pressure on.
Maposa tries the slower ball, but Abhishek is in no mood to slow down. He goes hard again, looking unstoppable tonight. A delivery drifting down the leg side is called wide -- the young bowler, playing his first World Cup game, can clearly feel the pressure.
And then -- breakthrough! Maposa strikes! Abhishek goes for the big shot, but Raza takes a sharp catch. Abhishek departs for a superb 55 off 30 balls.
Disappointment for the Indian fans as a fine knock comes to an end.
Hardik Pandya is the new batter and he is off the mark with a single.
