New York, June 9, 2024  – In a thrilling encounter at the ICC 2024 Men's T20 World Cup, India secured a dramatic victory against Pakistan, marking their second successive win in the tournament. Despite being bowled out for a modest total of 119, India managed to defend the score, thanks to a stellar performance by their bowlers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, who was named Player of the Match.


Match Overview

Pakistan won the toss and opted to field first, making early breakthroughs by dismissing key Indian batsmen Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma. India's middle order struggled to form partnerships, with Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel providing brief resistance. Pakistan's bowlers, led by Mohammad Amir and Naseem Shah, kept the pressure on, restricting India to 119.

However, tight bowling from Bumrah, who took 3 for 14, and crucial overs from Mohammed Siraj, Hardik Pandya, and Axar Patel turned the tide in India's favor. Pakistan's middle order failed to accelerate, resulting in a collapse that saw them fall short of the target.
