The first Indian wicket fell in first over, yet Kohli and Tendulkar had placed their team in strong position. Tendulkar and Kohli made the advantage appear transient by taking the run rate to 6.95 an over, above the required rate. Pakistan skipper Misbah once again surprised all, this time by taking off Hafeez despite him taking the wicket in the first over. His replacement Aizaz Cheema received a lot of bashing from the Indians, yet the skipper continued with Cheema. India were 98 at end of over number 15, with one wicket down.
