IND vs PAK Highlights: India beat Pakistan by 6 runs in a low-scoring thriller of T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York. While India were bowled out for 119 in 19 overs after being asked to bat first by Pakistan, in response, Pakistan could only muster 113/7 with Jasprit Bumrah emerging as the pick of the bowlers once again, finishing with figures of 3/14 off his 4 overs.
Bumrah won the Player Of The Match for the second successive time, after starring in India's tournament opener against Ireland. With the bat, Rishabh Pant was the stand-out performer, scoring 42 off 31 and was superb with his skills with the gloves in hand as well as India now move to 4 points from 2 matches.
India did suffer a dramatic batting collapse from 89/3 to get all out for 119. In the run chase, Pakistan had a similar innings and looked set to chase down that total with 50/1 at one stage but Bumrah's spell and inability to handle the pressure came back to haunt them as India held on to their nerves to emerge as the winner.
India's Next Matches Scheduled Against United States, Canada In Group Stage
India's next matches in Group A are scheduled against co-hosts United States and Canada while Pakistan are to face Ireland and Canada. While India have done their chances of qualification to the next round no harm, Pakistan are at the verge of elimination following a shock defeat to USA in their tournament opener followed by a loss to India.
They will need to depend on the results of other matches to go their way apart from their winning their own match in order to proceed to the subsequent round of the competition.
