Desk : The Indian men's cricket team won by 2 runs in the thrilling match played against Japan. Due to rain the match was reduced to 5-5 overs per innings. It was expected that Indian batsmen would score runs quickly in the shorter format, but the wet outfield and slow pitch created problems for the batsmen.

Let us tell you that after winning the toss, Indian captain Shreyas Iyer decided to bat first. The Indian team could score only 32 runs after losing 5 wickets in the stipulated 5 overs. While chasing the target, Japan also gave a tough challenge to India and at one time the match reached a very exciting situation.

Japan needed 8 runs to win in the last over. Akshar Patel took over the responsibility of bowling and he stopped the Japanese batsmen from scoring the required runs. Japan's team could reach only 30 runs at the loss of 3 wickets and India won the match by 2 runs.

The most special thing about this match was that not a single six was hit in the entire match. There were many big-shot batsmen present in the Indian team, from Abhishek Sharma to Washington Sundar, but no player could send the ball across the boundary for a six. There was no six hit from Japan either. Both the teams hit only 2-2 fours in the entire match. In this rain-affected match, due to slow wicket and less overs, the batsmen did not get a chance to play freely. Ultimately, the Indian team won by defeating Japan by 2 runs in a very close match.
