In a thrilling T20 World Cup match held at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, India narrowly defeated Pakistan by six runs. Despite a rain-delayed start, India managed to post a total of 119 runs, with Rishabh Pant contributing 42 runs off 31 balls. Pakistan's bowlers, led by Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, who each took three wickets, restricted India to a modest score. However, India's bowlers, particularly Jasprit Bumrah, who took 3 wickets for 14 runs, delivered a stellar performance to defend the low total. Bumrah's efforts earned him the Player of the Match award. The match, described as being bigger than the Super Bowl, captivated fans and highlighted the intense rivalry between the two cricketing giants, led by captains Rohit Sharma and Babar Azam. Shaheen Afridi also played a key role in Pakistan's bowling attack.
