India lost Virat Kohli in the second over by a score of 4, and Rohit Sharma was sent back to the pavilion just seven balls later as well. After the veterans departed, all the responsibility was on the shoulders of Axar Patel and Rishabh Pant to steady the ship and give India some momentum. Rishabh Pant was very lucky on three separate occasions, but still, his approach paid off as India was getting back on track.

India lost Axar Patel in the 8th over, and after that, their whole middle order collapsed, and they were all out at 119 without even playing their complete 20 overs. Things were looking worse when Pakistan started the chase very well. Despite losing Babar Azam early, Pakistan looked to be in complete control. It was only when Axar Patel dismissed Usman Khan that India found some hope back in the game. 

Jasprit Bumrah was as effective as ever and he played a massive role in securing this big win for Team India. In his 4 overs, he gave away only 14 runs and picked three big wickets that pushed Pakistan to the backfoot. Hardik Pandya also played a big role with the bowl in restricting Pakistan from reaching the target. 

In the end, India won by six runs, and Jasprit Bumrah was given the Man of the Match award. The race to win the 2024 ICC T20 World Cup is on and India is emerging as a big favorite under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma.
