In a surprising turn of events, India successfully defended only 119 runs to beat rival Pakistan by six runs in a thrilling T20 World Cup match.
The match, held at Long Island’s Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, saw Pakistan dismiss India for 119 in 19 overs. However, Pakistan struggled to chase the target and finished at 113-7 in 20 overs against India’s strong pace attack led by Jasprit Bumrah. Bumrah’s exceptional figures of 3-14 in four overs, along with Hardik Pandya’s 2-24, played a crucial role in India’s victory.
Despite Pakistan appearing to be in a comfortable position at 80-4, Bumrah’s crucial wickets turned the game in India’s favor. With this win, India maintains a perfect record at the T20 World Cup. This victory comes after Pakistan’s previous shock defeat to the United States in a Super Over.
The nail-biting finish of the match left fans on the edge of their seats as Naseem Shah’s late boundaries were not enough to secure a win for Pakistan. India’s strong performance in both batting and bowling departments proved to be the deciding factor in this intense encounter.
The match showcased the resilience and determination of both teams, making it a memorable clash in the T20 World Cup tournament.
