In a highly anticipated match at the ICC men’s Twenty20 World Cup 2024, Pakistan faced a crushing defeat against arch-rivals India at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on Sunday. The game, filled with thrilling moments and intense rivalry, left Pakistani fans heartbroken as their team failed to maintain momentum after a promising start.
Pakistan began their innings on a positive note, but the early dismissal of captain Babar Azam by Indian pacer Jasprit Bumrah marked the beginning of their struggles. Azam, after scoring 13 runs, fell prey to Bumrah’s precise bowling. Usman Khan, who came in after Azam, managed to provide some support to Mohammad Rizwan, but his stint was cut short by Axar Patel, who sent him back to the pavilion.
Despite the efforts of the Pakistani batsmen, the team ended their innings at 113-7 in the allotted 20 overs. India’s bowlers delivered a remarkable performance, with Jasprit Bumrah taking three crucial wickets, Hardik Pandya securing two, and Arshdeep Singh and Axar Patel contributing one each to dismantle the Pakistani batting lineup.
