India and Pakistan’s T20 men’s World Cup match took place on June 9, 2024, in Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, New York, a Group A game. As would be expected of these two teams, which have always been big rivals, the match was watched keenly as both teams arrived with good form and high morale. However, the first match of the game started with the toss going in the favor of Pakistan and then opting for batting. Babar Azam scored 13, and opener Muhammad Rizwan contributed a stable 31 to what they thought would be a strong start. But Bumrah and Patel bowled a tight line against Pakistan and picked up wickets at the right moments, thus tagging Pakistan at 113/7 after 20 overs.
When India pursued 114, the Pakistan bowling team came into the party, especially from Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, who claimed three wickets each. India lost its captain Rohit Sharma early on and Virat Kohli, which made the start very nervous. Rishabh Pant fought hard for India by scoring 42 runs on just 31 balls, comprising six fours. Axar Patel added a proper 20, but India shifted under pressure as wickets started to fall.
In yet another heart-staking cracker of a game, India felled at 119, all out with the loss of a wicket in 19 overs. India needed this win to consolidate their position in the group stage matches and prove the core team’s strength. The match will be remembered for some excellent bowling and athletic fielding by Pakistan, which extended this already fine cricket rivalry.
