India defeats Pakistan by 7 wickets in the 19th match of T20 World Cup 2024
Thrilling encounter at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium
In a highly anticipated match, India emerged victorious over arch-rivals Pakistan in the Group A encounter of the T20 World Cup 2024. Played at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, the match witnessed a thrilling display of cricket from both sides.
Clinical performance by India
India chased down Pakistan's total of 191 with relative ease, reaching the target with 117 balls to spare. Opening batter Rohit Sharma led the charge with a brilliant 73 off 52 deliveries, while Virat Kohli contributed with a steady 48. Wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant added the finishing touches with an explosive 34 off 21 balls.
Heartbreak for Pakistan
Despite a strong performance by their top-order, Pakistan's hopes were dashed by India's clinical bowling. Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam put on a 65-run opening stand, but a middle-order collapse left the team struggling. Captain Shaheen Afridi's late resurgence with 3 wickets couldn't prevent India from securing a comfortable victory.
