Sachin and Yuvi Can't Keep Calm as India Beat Pakistan
On Sunday, india escaped a fright. In their t20 world cup group-stage match against pakistan in New York, they prevailed by a slim margin of six runs while maintaining composure. pakistan bounced back from being stunned by co-host USA in the Super Over in dallas on Friday, dismissing india for 119 in 19 overs at Nassau County international Cricket Stadium on another challenging field. But in the data-face of a dangerous pace assault, the 2009 winners faltered in their pursuit, reaching 113 for seven in 20 overs.
The standout bowler for india was jasprit bumrah, who finished with match-winning stats of 3 wickets for 14 runs in 4 overs (11 dot balls and 1 boundary). hardik pandya also contributed with a 2 / 24 effort. During a certain moment in the game, pakistan appeared to be on their way to winning their second t20 world cup encounter against India—the first they had won in three years since that night in Dubai.
With Mohammad Rizwan setting the conditions for pakistan, they were 80 for three in 14 overs before bumrah and Iftikhar ahmed were defeated in an outstanding session. Pakistan's middle-order batsmen were thus so severely restricted in the last overs that the team was only able to muster two boundaries before losing by six runs.
After Men in Blue's triumph, former indian cricketer and batting icon sachin tendulkar made a playful jab at pakistan while complimenting the bowlers. However, Bumrah's former colleague virender sehwag was all praise for his valiant actions.
“India vs Pakistan. New continent, same result. t20 may be a batters’ game, but in New York, bowlers were the apple of our eyes today. What a thrilling match! Great atmosphere and a wonderful exhibition of our great game in America. Well played, india #INDvPAK #T20WorldCup,” Sachin tweeted. Meanwhile, Sehwag wrote: “Haar se Jitane waale ko bumrah kehte hain. What a fabulous spell and a very special win in New York.”
Yuvraj Singh tweeted, "“India wins a thrilling low-scoring contest against Pakistan! Rohit’s @ImRo45 strategic masterclass shines through! As his clever use of bowlers was the game-changer. Pakistan's batting struggled to counter India's precise attack. Well-deserved win for Team India! Well played @RishabhPant17 and well bowled @Jaspritbumrah93 @hardikpandya7 @imjadeja @arshdeepsinghh #INDvPAK #Cricket #TeamIndia #T20WorldCup #axarpatel”"
