The first wicket fell on the score of 50, which meant the other opener Aman Ansari had to battle it out with a fighting 61 off 71 balls with 7 fours and a solitary six. Captain Tanishq Gavate gave him equal company to raise a 99-run partnership with Ansari, eventually making a cautious 94 balls 60 with 7 fours.
