India vs Pakistan in Thrilling Match at ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024
India edges Pakistan with Bumrah's Terrific Spell
Final Score: India 152/5, Pakistan 143/8
In a captivating match at the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2024, India narrowly defeated Pakistan by 9 runs. India's victory was largely attributed to Jasprit Bumrah's exceptional bowling performance, which restricted Pakistan's batting lineup.
Batting first, India set a challenging target of 153 runs, with Suryakumar Yadav top-scoring with 68 runs off just 45 balls. Pakistan's chase began steadily, with Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan putting on a 40-run partnership. However, Bumrah's introduction into the attack turned the match on its head.
The pacer bowled a devastating spell, capturing four wickets for just 23 runs, including those of Rizwan, Shan Masood, Iftikhar Ahmed, and Khushdil Shah. Pakistan's middle order struggled to keep up with Bumrah's relentless pace and accuracy, and they eventually fell short of the target.
This thrilling victory gives India a crucial advantage in Group A of the tournament. Pakistan, meanwhile, will need to regroup and bounce back in their upcoming matches.
