DUBAI: In an exciting T20 World Cup Super 12 match against Pakistan on Sunday, India finally reached over 100 runs by the conclusion of the 16th over.
Pakistan’s bowlers have been on a roll, taking four Indian wickets in 13 overs.
Shahdab Khan took the most recent wicket, dismissing Rishabh Pant after he made 39 runs in 30 balls and was replaced in the field by Ravindra Jadeja.
After Pakistan claimed three early wickets against arch-rival India in the Super 12 match of the T20 World Cup on Sunday, Hasan Ali sent Suryakumar Yadav back to the pavilion.
Yadav was replaced in the field by Rishabh Pant after scoring 11 runs off eight balls.
Earlier in the day, Shaheen Shah Afridi was on a roll, taking two early wickets for Pakistan against arch-rival India in the T20 World Cup Super 12 match on Sunday.
Babar Azam, Pakistan’s captain, won the toss and chose to bowl first.
The two teams last met in the 2019 50-over World Cup, which took place three years ago.
The build-up to the game demonstrates the game’s ongoing attraction as a showdown between the subcontinent’s antagonistic neighbours.
While Pakistan’s Babar Azam and India’s Virat Kohli have described the match as “just another game,” this is certainly not the case.
India has won all 12 of their T20 and 50-over World Cup matches under Virat Kohli’s leadership.
Pakistan, on the other hand, enters the tournament with a 10-game winning streak in the United Arab Emirates, their home away from home for the past decade.
