Dhoni once again rescued India from a precarious position as he joined forces with all-rounder Hardik Pandya after the hosts had been reduced to 87/5 in the 22nd over.

Pandya (83 from 66 balls) and Dhoni (79 from 88 balls) forged an 118-run sixth wicket stand to help India post a challenging total.
The 23-year-old Pandya meted out special treatment to Adam Zampa, taking the young leg-spinner to the cleaners on three consecutive occasions to get to his third ODI fifty off 48 balls before falling to the same bowler, later in the innings.
