In a nail-biting clash that felt straight out of a sports movie 🎥, India defended a modest 119 runs to beat Pakistan by 6 runs in the T20 World Cup! 🌍🏆 The match at New York’s Nassau County Stadium had fans glued to their seats as Jasprit Bumrah’s fiery spell (3-14) turned the tide for India. 💥
Pakistan seemed in control at 80-3, but Bumrah’s genius dismantled their middle order, snagging key wickets like Mohammad Rizwan (31). 🎯 Pakistan’s tailenders couldn’t chase 18 runs in the final over, leaving Naseem Shah in tears as India sealed their second straight win. 😢
🇮🇳 Skipper Rohit Sharma praised his team’s grit: \"Bumrah’s a genius… We knew 119 could be enough.\" Meanwhile, Pakistan’s Babar Azam admitted: \"Too many dot balls cost us.\" 🔍
With this win, India tops Group A, while Pakistan faces a do-or-die battle vs Canada and Ireland. Who’s ready for more drama? 🍿
