Jasprit Bumrah Adjudged Player Of The Match in IND vs PAK

Jasprit Bumrah was the pick of the bowlers for Team India as India won the match over their arch-rivals. India did not put on what could be termed a high score in this format of the game but Bumrah's 3/14 off his 4 overs helped them get over the line. Hardik Pandya's 2/24 off his 4 overs and Axar Patel 1/11 off his 2 overs also had a part to play in India's successful defence of 119.

For Pakistan, their bowlers had done a good job with Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf picking three wickets apiece and Mohammad Amir also picking 2 wickets but their batters failed to put their hand up yet again, resulting in their second successive defeat in T20 World Cup 2024.
