Again a thriller! This is happening throughout the World Cup, each match is a thriller. Why will the most desired match of the World Cup be left out? did not read India and Pakistan gifted another thriller. India defeated Babar Azam's team by 6 runs.
India did not start well after losing the toss and batting. In the beginning, Virat Kohli, then Rohit Sharma lost their wicket and India was in trouble. But after that, India handled the situation with the bat of Rishabh Pant and Akshar Patel. The team's batting laughed until then. After Rohit, Pant and Akshar reached double figures. From then on, the batters started coming and going. India were all out for 119 runs in the 19th over from 89 in 11 overs.
India was destroyed by Pakistan pacers. Naseem Shah took 3 wickets. He was accompanied by Mohammad Amir, who took 2 wickets for 23 runs. Haris Rauf also took 3 wickets for 21 runs, Shaheen took 1 wicket for 29 runs.
All in all, the work of the bowlers was fine. As soon as the batsmen's turn came, Pakistan got the ball rolling. It was right up to a point. They finished 10 overs with 57 runs, losing 1 wicket. Babar failed, but with Rizwan at the crease, Pakistan's hope remained as long as he was there. The 2009 champions lost their way soon after Rizwan was bowled by Bumrah for the team's 80 runs.
Wickets were being lost at regular intervals, along with the asking rate was also increasing in leaps and bounds. None of Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim could subdue it. At the time of Rizwan's departure, where Pakistan needed 40 runs from 36 balls, they reached the required run in 18 off the last over. Naseem Shah could score only 11 runs from that over. As a result, Pakistan lost the match by 6 runs. The fear of leaving the World Cup has become stronger for the team.
