India Vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match

Pakistan won the toss and elected to bowl first. However, Indian batters struggled on this tricky surface, with top openers Virat Kohli (4) and Rohit Sharma (13) unable to score large. Rishabh Pant (42 from 31 balls, six fours) appeared to be playing on a separate pitch.

With 18 runs needed in the last over, Naseem Shah (10*) attempted to win it for Pakistan, but Arshdeep Singh (1/31) ensured Pakistan fell short by six runs. Bumrah won the 'Player of the Match' award for his match-winning performance.
