In a crucial Group A match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup held in New York on Sunday, India set a target of 120 runs for Pakistan. After being put to bat first by Pakistan’s captain Babar Azam, India was bowled out for 119 runs on the second-to-last ball of the 19th over.
Imad Wasim was included in Pakistan’s lineup, replacing the out-of-form Azam Khan. India, on the other hand, retained the same team that secured a win against Ireland.
The playing XI for India included Rohit Sharma (captain), Virat Kohli, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube, Hardik Pandya (vice-captain), Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Jasprit Bumrah, Arshdeep Singh, and Mohammad Siraj.
Pakistan’s lineup featured Babar Azam (captain), Mohammad Rizwan (wicketkeeper), Usman Khan, Fakhar Zaman, Shadab Khan, Iftikhar Ahmed, Imad Wasim, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, and Mohammad Amir.
With India setting a modest target of 120 runs, the match promises to be an intense contest as Pakistan aims to chase down the score and secure a crucial victory.
