Know about the 3 biggest turning points of the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2024 match. Jasprit Bumrah bowled brilliantly. Apart from this, there were two more reasons for victory for India.
Team India has won the most talked about match of T20 World Cup 2024. The Indian team defeated Pakistan by 6 runs in a thrilling low scoring match. The Indian team had scored only 119 runs and the Pakistani team surrendered while chasing 120 runs. In this match played at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York, at one time the Pakistan team seemed close to victory, but know about the three biggest turning points behind how Pakistan’s game deteriorated in this match and how the Indian team snatched victory from Pakistan’s jaws.
1. Pant’s attack
On one hand, batsmen were desperate to score runs on the New York pitch, on the same pitch, Rishabh Pant batted dangerously and scored 42 runs in 31 balls for the team. Some of his catches were short, but this innings proved to be a boon for victory for Team India. His partnership with Axar Patel was also good. Due to this innings of Pant, India was able to reach close to 120. Not only Pant’s batting, but also three catches were a message of victory for Team India.
2. Bumrah’s havoc
Jasprit Bumrah took 3 wickets for 13 runs in 4 overs against Pakistan. It seemed difficult to defend 119 runs on the New York pitch in the afternoon, but Bumrah’s spell changed Pakistan’s fate. He had dismissed Babar Azam, Mohammad Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed. This bowling of Bumrah became a disaster for Pakistan. When Bumrah bowled Rizwan, the whole match turned from there, because he was the only batsman who was playing according to the circumstances.
3. Rohit’s captaincy
Whether it is sending Axar Patel to number 4, making changes in bowling or setting the fielding according to the bowlers…captain Rohit Sharma should get marks on all these fronts. Rohit bowled Bumrah’s four overs in three attempts. This was the biggest turning point of the victory, because he took three wickets. He was criticized for bringing spin late, but Rohit had faith in his pacers and this worked for the team.
