10th June 2024- The much-anticipated clash between rivals India and Pakistan in the ICC World Cup had fans on the edge of their seats as India emerged victorious by a margin of 6 runs in a nail-biting encounter at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York.
Jasprit Bumrah emerged as the match’s hero with a sensational bowling performance, turning the game in India’s favour. With figures of 3 for 14 in his four overs, Bumrah’s spell proved to be the turning point as Pakistan fell short of the target, ending at 113 for 7 in 20 overs.
Chasing the lowest target of 120, Pakistan seemed solid at 73 for 3 in 12.1 overs, but Bumrah’s brilliance shattered their batting order. Despite notable performances from Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf each took three wickets, marking the first time India was all out against Pakistan, and Mohammad Amir’s two, Pakistan couldn’t finish.
Rishabh Pant‘s resilient innings of 42 runs provided the much-needed impetus for India, who faced a batting collapse after a promising start. Despite the efforts of players like Hardik Pandya, who excelled with the ball and Arshdeep Singh also played well and took the important wicket while breaking the partnership, India’s top order struggled, it’s a question about the batting lineup for future matches.
With this victory, India maintains its dominance over Pakistan in ICC events, extending the head-to-head record to 7-1 in favour of India. With this win, India won 2 out of 2 matches and led the leaderboard. India’s next match is with the USA who has also beaten Pakistan in the near past.
