He drove Brad Evans straight down the ground for four off a yorker and later launched off-spinner Sikandar Raza for a 102-metre six. He also reverse-swept Wesley Madhevere for a boundary.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>While Sooryavanshi settled in, opening partner Abhishek Sharma&#8217;s lean run continued. Abhishek edged Blessing Muzarabani to wicketkeeper Tadi Marumani for two, extending his sequence of low scores. His last six innings have produced 10, 16, 3, 1, 8 and 2, dating back to the third T20I against England in Nottingham last month.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>Sooryavanshi then added 75 runs for the second wicket with Ishan Kishan, who made 29, before sharing a 50-run partnership with captain Shreyas Iyer, who scored 27.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"26\"\/>The youngster looked set for a century before Wesley Madhevere dismissed him. <!-- -->Brad Evans completed a catch at long-off to end his innings on 81.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"30\"\/>India could not maintain the same scoring rate after the departures of Sooryavanshi and Shreyas. The middle order added only 47 runs in the final five overs, with Rinku Singh&#8217;s 25 off 14 balls helping India move closer to the 200-run mark.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
