Pakistan found it difficult to keep the scoring rate in check right from the outset, with the bowlers disappearing to all parts of the ground. The wicket of Reddy was the only respite for the Pakistan side. Pakistan, who had scored in excess of 300 in most games in the tournament, failed to put up even 200 on the board and as a result found it difficult to defend this total.
