This is a very good win for India as they defended a very low score! What a turnaround it was for the Men in Blue were bowled out for just 119 runs in the first innnigs. Jasprit Bumrah led a sensational bowling effort and this chase was Pakistan's to lose. Babar Azam and his men have fallen short and lost their second match of the tournament. This performance would give India a world of confidence as they continue their dominance over Pakistan in World Cups. Pakistan had this chase in control, but Fakhar Zaman and Mohammad Rizwan's dismissals turned the tide in India's favour. A six-run win for India and they will get a lot of momentum from this performance. Pakistan now needed to win both their matches to stand a chance of qualifying for the Super Eight stage. India take on USA next on June 12 while Pakistan's next opposition is Canada on June 11.
India win this match and what a performance it has been! After just 119 runs in the first innings, the Indian bowlers made a grand comeback to win this match by just six runs!
Arshdeep Singh strikes and he has dismissed Imad Wasim! The ball caught the edge of the bat and Rishabh Pant pulls off a great catch! The Pakistan left-hander reviewed the decision but that did not save him! Indians are ecstatic! Imad Wasim c Pant b Arshdeep Singh 15(23)
OUT! Jasprit Bumrah dismisses Iftikhar Ahmed and Pakistan need 18 runs off six balls! Iftikhar Ahmed hit it high in the air and Arshdeep Singh does well to catch the ball and avoid a collision with his teammate. Iftikhar Ahmed c Arshdeep Singh b Bumrah 5(9)
A no-ball from Mohammed Siraj and fortunately for India, it has yielded just two runs. India have done well to take this game this deep so far with Pakistan only able to score through singles and doubles. Meanwhile, Siraj also bowls a wide down the leg side. The required run rate is above 10 now and the pressure is clearly on Pakistan. 21 runs needed off 12 balls!
Hardik Pandya has bowled a brilliant over and Pakistan find themselves in trouble here! The required run rate is almost upto 10 per over and India have the momentum at the moment. India have clawed back into this contest very well and now, they need to continue the good work for three more overs. 30 runs needed off 18 balls!
OUT! Hardik Pandya has dismissed Shadab Khan and Pakistan are falling into a bit of a hole here! Pandya fpllpwed him with a bouncer and Rishabh Pant again, who takes a good catch! Shadab Khan c Rishabh Pant b Hardik Pandya 4(7)
Every ball is important for both teams from here on. Shadab Khan and Imad Wasim are out in the middle and they will look to absorb the pressure. Meanwhile, Axar Patel bowls a tidy over, giving away just two runs and the required run rate creeps up for Pakistan.
That wicket by Jasprit Bumrah seems to have breathed new life into the Indian fans in the crowd. They are cheering every ball in the over and Pakistan slightly under pressure. A good over for India with Pakistan scoring just runs. India will need ideally one more wicket to put pressure in the remaining five overs.
OUT! Jasprit Bumrah is back into the attack and he produces a wicket off the first ball he bowled in this over! Mohammad Rizwan missed the inswinger which crashed into the stumps! India believe again and we are in for an exciting finish! Mohammad Rizwan b Jasprit Bumrah 31(44)
