Was it need judgment? Arrogance, plain ignorance of pitch, or all three combined? In the high-octane match against Pakistan in New York at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, India’s pathetic performance is nothing short of a disaster.
In the first place, there were different deferrals because of repeating downpours, then, at that point, came the curve in the story – Pakistani pacers. Before the third downpour-related interruption, Rohit Sharma had crushed a wonderful six and when the play continued, we saw Kohli’s upscale limit.
India Only Scored 119 In 19 Overs
That was the last time Men dressed in Blue were in the play. Kohli’s advanced wicket tossed India’s stalwart batting line up through of the window.
From that point on, Sharma, Patel, SKY, Jadeja, Pandya just couldn’t remain on that famous drop-in pitch. Just Rishabh Gasp (41 off 31) gave a fightback. Every Indian batter failed to reach fifty. The devastation persisted even into the final overs, when Pandya was run out for just seven runs. India have been limited to 119 all out in 19 overs
Pakistan Poor Batting Performance
The Men dressed in Green got going on a consistent note with captain Babar Azam and Md Rizwan opening for Pakistan. Pakistan, chasing a target of 120, appeared content despite Indian bowlers’ struggles. India leaped forward wicket of Babar Azam politeness Jasprit Bumrah.
While they didn’t prevent their pursuit however fall of wickets at customary span hampered their force. Pandya was costly yet efficient. Three Pakistani players were excused on the score of 13 runs – Babar Azam, Usman Khan and Fakhar Zaman.
Jasprit Bumrah The Real Game Changer
Towards the end, Jasprit Bumrah changed the game in the nineteenth over and Arshdeep Singh tried to push the great work along as he effectively guarded 18 runs. Pakistan required 12 runs off 2 balls. It was nerve-wracking for the two sides. However, India won the match by 6 runs thanks to the boundary on the second and final ball.
