Tactical Insights

• Strategy of Powerplay of Bumrah: Jasprit Bumrah bowls three overs in the powerplay. That is also the only T20I since 2019. He would not manage to pick up any wickets but conceded pretty much minuscule runs.
• Kuldeep Yadav and Shivam Dube Partnership: That was a vital combination of spin and medium pace that broke up the lower-order resistance by the UAE.
• Wicketkeeper Consideration: India preferred batting depth over its wicket-keeping jobs as it deployed Sanju Samson, with Dube at No. 6.
