Pakistan Bow Out Of T20 World Cup 2024
Coming to the IND vs PAK match, India pulled off an incredible comeback to defeat arch-rivals Pakistan by six runs. After being sent in to bat first by Pakistan, India struggled and were bowled out for just 119 in 19 overs. While chasing the modest target, Pakistan appeared to be in command until the 15th over, when some exceptional death bowling from India limited them to 113. This marked the lowest total ever defended by India in a T20I match. This also marked the seventh victory for India in eight T20 World Cup encounters against Pakistan.
Before losing to India, Pakistan had also endured a shell-shocking defeat to the co-host USA in their opening game of the T20 World Cup 2024. Pakistan won their next match against Canada but they now find themselves out of the race for the Super 8 stage of the tournament as USA has more points than them and is the second team from Group A after India to qualify for the Super 8s.
