The drama unfolded during the sixth over when Rahul Chahar bowled a delivery that was deemed a no-ball by the on-field umpire for overstepping the popping crease. However, replays clearly showed that Chahar had not crossed the line, leaving fans and players alike in disbelief. The contentious call led to a free hit, and Qasim Akram seized the opportunity with both hands. He launched Chahar's next delivery over the boundary for a colossal six, much to the dismay of the Indian camp. This moment was pivotal, as it not only handed Pakistan A a valuable six runs but also swung the momentum their way at a critical juncture in the match.

As the scoreboard ticked up to 71 for 2, Pakistan A's run chase was picking up pace. Yasir Khan was particularly dangerous, having raced to 31 off just 18 balls, peppering the boundary with a flurry of fours and sixes. Chahar's bowling figures suffered, reflecting the fallout of the umpire's decision, as he finished the over with figures of 1-0-12-0. In the following over, Abhishek Sharma stepped up and displayed his prowess by conceding just eight runs, momentarily stalling Pakistan's surge. Nishant Sindhu was called to bowl next, tasked with maintaining the pressure as the target of 184 loomed large.

With the required run rate steadily climbing, Pakistan A needed 113 runs off 78 balls, a challenging but attainable target. The atmosphere crackled with tension as fans watched eagerly, questioning whether the misjudged no-ball would haunt India A as the match progressed. In a nail-biting finish, India A secured victory by just 7 runs, thanks to a brilliant final over by Anshul Kamboj. With 17 runs needed, Kamboj stifled Abbas Afridi's attempts to unleash big hits, showcasing his nerves of steel. Pakistan A finished their innings at 176 for 7, with Arafat Minhas top-scoring with 45 runs, supported by Yasir Khan with 33 and Abdul Samad adding 25.
