Indian Bowlers Outplays Pakistan In An Thrilling Encounter

Despite a modest target of 120 runs set by India, Pakistan fell short, managing only 113 runs for seven wickets in their allotted 20 overs.

Mohammad Rizwan was the top scorer for Pakistan with 31 runs in 44 balls, but the rest of the batting lineup struggled, with no other player surpassing 15 runs. India's bowlers were in fine form, with Jasprit Bumrah taking three wickets and Hardik Pandya claiming two.

Earlier, the match faced a delayed start due to rain, and India's innings saw them bowled out for 119 runs in 19 overs. Rishabh Pant was the only standout performer with the bat, as no other Indian player managed to score beyond 40. 

Pakistan's bowlers were impressive, with Haris Rauf and Naseem Shah each taking three wickets, while Mohammad Amir and Shaheen Shah Afridi took two and one wickets respectively.
