T20 World Cup 2024: India vs Pakistan : Yesterday, the group stage match of T20 World Cup-2024 was played between India and Pakistan, in which the Indian team won the match by six runs. With this, Team India has won the second consecutive match in the World Cup. After Team India was all out for 119 runs in the first innings, it seemed that Pakistan would win the match easily. The strong bowling of India's bowlers turned the match moving towards defeat into victory. On the other hand, Pakistan also had a good start. But the special thing about this match is that Rohit Sharma knew the condition of the pitch and he had already made a strategy on how to take hold of the match.
Rohit was confident of winning the match
After the match, Rohit Sharma said, 'Our batsmen did not bat well. Team India needed a big partnership, but we failed. This time the pitch was better than the previous bad pitch, although we could not score the required runs.' Rohit said about his strategy that, when the Pakistan team came to bat, I called all the players together and said that if this can happen to us, then why not to them? Then our bowlers bowled strongly. Jasprit Bumrah's bowling was amazing. We knew what Bumrah can do and he showed it.' We hope that Bumrah will continue to perform like this in all the matches of the World Cup.'
Team India remained on top
This was the second match between India and Pakistan. After defeating Ireland first, India defeated Pakistan yesterday, due to which Team India has reached the top of the points table. Whereas Pakistan has lost both its matches. Pakistan is now almost out of the race for Super-8. After defeating Pakistan, the Indian team has reached the first position in Group-A by defeating America. India's next match will be against America.
A memorable match for India
It is worth noting that India defeated Pakistan by six runs in the super over of the T20 World Cup. They maintained their dominance in the tournament. This victory of India will be memorable in the sense that even though Pakistan had got a target of 120 runs, it could only score 113 runs for 7 wickets at the end of 20 overs. This was the first international match between the two in New York and many people came from far-flung states of America and many from India and Pakistan to watch this special match.
Pakistan is in danger of being eliminated from the group stage
Indian bowlers, especially Bumrah, took 3 wickets for 14 runs in 4 overs and Hardik Pandya took 2 wickets for 24 runs but kept the batsmen tied down and increased the pressure on the run rate. Jadeja and Akshar Patel gave only 21 runs in 4 overs. Pakistan would have been more disappointed by the fact that its score was 73 runs for 2 wickets in 12.1 overs. After this, it lost 4 wickets for 40 runs. With this defeat, Indian fans celebrated and partied after the match as Sunday was a holiday. The danger of Pakistan being eliminated in the group stage has increased.
Naseem and Rauf's tantrums were seen
In the match which the fans were waiting for a long time, Pakistan's fast bowlers showed their magic. India was bowled out for 119 runs in 19 overs in the group match of the T20 World Cup. Naseem and Rauf created a stir by taking three wickets each. Aamir took two wickets in two balls. Pant alone resisted from India's side and scored 42 runs in 31 balls with the help of six fours. Facing the target of 120 runs, Pakistan has scored 35 runs for 2 wickets at the end of 11 overs. If a ball falls suddenly on the pitch, some balls slow down after pitching, while others bounce.
India benefited from Pakistan winning the toss and choosing to bowl
Pakistan captain Babar Azam won the toss and asked India to bat first. The deterioration of the pitch at Nassau Stadium in New York has also been criticized a lot. Its effect was also due to rain, strong wind and cloudy weather, which made batting difficult. In this way, winning the toss seems to benefit Pakistan a lot.
