In a thrilling T20 World Cup match, India triumphed over Pakistan by 6 runs. The game, held in New York, was filled with intense moments and standout performances.

India was bowled out for 119 runs in 19 overs, with Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah taking three wickets each for Pakistan. Despite the low total, India managed to defend it successfully. Hardik Pandya's critical spell of 4-0-24-2 and Jasprit Bumrah's consistent breakthroughs were pivotal. Bumrah's full and straight delivery removed Rizwan, and Pandya's short ball dismissed the dangerous Fakhar Zaman, helping to keep India in the game. Axar Patel also contributed with a tight over, increasing the required run rate for Pakistan.

Pakistan, in their chase, was restricted to 113 runs. Despite having 5 wickets in hand and needing only 21 off 12 balls at one stage, they couldn't reach the target, thanks to the disciplined Indian bowling attack and crucial fielding efforts​ (Sporting News)​​ (India Today)​.
