On 19 June 2024, the cricketing world witnessed another intense chapter in the long-standing rivalry between India and Pakistan. In a pulsating T20 International, India edged out Pakistan by just six runs in a dramatic finish.
India, sent in to bat, posted 119 all out in 19 overs. The innings combined cautious accumulation with occasional aggression, but Pakistan’s bowlers continually applied pressure and prevented any sustained partnerships. A handful of starts failed to blossom into match-defining knocks, leaving India with a modest total to defend.
Pakistan began their chase with intent but were repeatedly checked by a disciplined Indian bowling effort. Jasprit Bumrah was the standout bowler, producing an excellent spell at the end of the innings with tight lines, controlled variations and crucial breakthroughs. His accuracy in the death overs made scoring difficult for the Pakistan batsmen. Despite a spirited effort, Pakistan finished on 113 for 7 in their 20 overs — six runs short of the target.
Jasprit Bumrah’s game-changing spell earned him the Player of the Match award and underlined his reputation as one of the world’s premier limited-overs bowlers. For more on Bumrah’s career, see his profile on ESPNcricinfo: Jasprit Bumrah — ESPNcricinfo.
