India’s chase had a fast start but ended at 223/9
India’s reply showed enough scoring power to keep the match alive, but it finished 24 runs short. Samson scored 56 from 23 balls, Tilak Varma made 43 from 25 and Nitish Kumar Reddy added 41 from 20. India reached 223/9 in 19.3 overs; the scorecard records Arshdeep Singh as retired hurt.
Keemo Paul’s 5/41 was the match’s largest bowling return, and Gudakesh Motie added 2/13. The figures show where the chase lost wickets, but the 24-run margin alone does not prove a specific tactical cause. See the FairPlay results page for the match record.
