IND vs PAK: Goodnight, Indian fans
What an absolutely stunning night! Indians pulled off the win of the ages as they have toppled Pakistan while defending a mere total of 120 runs. Jasprit Bumrah was definitely the hero of the match, but each and every bowler contributed to this win. And Rohit Sharma, the captain, deserves all the praises for his shrewdness as the leader.
Well as they say all good must come to an end and with this in mind, we bid adieu to you... with the hope to see you much sooner. This is Arjun Bhalla logging off on OneCricket's behalf. See you soon!
India hold their nerves to squeeze a very closely fought low scoring thriller against Pakistan winning by 6 runs to get to the top of the Group A points table.

IND Vs PAK Player of the Match: Jasprit Bumrah
"Yeah, it feels really good. We fell away a little under par and the sun came out. So, we had to be disciplined with the ball in hand and really happy with this win.
Try to keep it simple. Just hit the seam as much as I can and let the pitch do the rest. Just focus on my execution.
It felt really good. It felt like we were playing in India. The cheer is always appreciated and it gives us energy on the field as well.
You know, focus on the now. We have played two games and played them very well. Nothing changes. You stick to your process and come out and try to execute the plan."
Jasprit Bumrah produced a world class bowling display with 3/14 in his 4 overs bowling 15 precious dot balls in his spell.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: INDIA WITH A WIN FOR THE AGES
Back to back fours!!! But India is on the brink of a win. And Arshdeep Singh does it. INDIA WITH A WIN FOR THE AGESSSS!!!
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Arshdeep with a reward
Imad swings but doesn't find the middle of the bat. Pant dives to his right and appeals for a catch. Throws the ball to Arshdeep who from the middle of the pitch fails to hit the stumps at his end. Mid on stops the ball. Rohit asks the umpire to send this upstairs. India take the review to check the fair catch. There is a spike on UltraEdge! Imad Wasim perishes in the final over!
A run here. Wait no. Rohit Sharma is looking animated. What has just happened.
Pakistan require 18 runs from 6 balls. Arshdeep Singh to bowl the final over. Imad Wasim on strike. Here we gooo!!!!
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Another Bumrah special on his last ball
Brilliant catch from Arshdeep. Suryakumar was running towards him but he held it nerves and pouched it safely. Probably, Suryakumar didn't hear the call from Arshdeep due to the noise.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Run Out Check
Throw from Rohit Sharma, and troubling bells ringing for Imad Wasim. Bumrah collects the throw and flicks it onto the stumps. He appeals and the decision is sent upstairs. The replays are in and Imad might have just made it. His bat has just crossed the crease when the bails were dislodged. NOT OUT loads on the big screen. But Iffi Mania is gone!!!
IND vs PAK Live Score: 100 up for Pakistan
Single on the first ball and followed by two crucial dots from Bumrah. 20 required from 9 now.
A couple of errors in that Siraj over but only 9 runs off it. Fortunately for India, he didn't concede any boundary in it. Pakistan require 21 runs from 12 balls. Jasprit Bumrah to bowl the penultimate over.
IND vs PAK Live Score: No-ball from Mo Siraj
He oversteps on this occasion. That can't be happening at this stage. Free hit to follow. A very marginal call but there was nothing behind the line. Two runs on the free-hit ball.
Pakistan require 30 runs off the last 3 overs. Siraj to bowl the 18th over.
Iftikhar Ahmed walks out to bat at number 7.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Savage Hardik sees Shadab's back
Hardik picks up his second scalp of the match. A very good bouncer from him and Shadab falls. India keep picking wickets. One must watch Hardik Pandya's savage reaction after the wicket.
Hardik Pandya to bowl out now. Rohit Sharma went for Hardik for this one. Btw, it was a brilliant last over from Axar. Just 2 runs came off it.
Arjun: Axar Patel gets an over. Rohit Sharma is trying to get over with with spin, so that he can rotate his pacers in the remainder of the game.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: WHAT A BALL!!!!
BOWLED' EM!!! When you need a wicket, bring back Bumrah. He cleans up well-set Rizwan and Kohli is absolutely pumped up. Bowls a good length delivery angling in on the stumps, Rizwan decides to put Bumrah under pressure straightaway. He looks to heave it across the line but misses it completely and the ball crashes on the middle stump. Never seen Bumrah pump up like this! The biggest wicket of this innings! The crowd erupts at the Nassau County Ground!
Boom Boom Bumrah is here. The game is still not over. BOWLEEDDDDDD HIM!!!!
Imad Wasim takes strike for the first time this T20 World Cup.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Hardik Pandya with a wicket
Hardik Pandya's deadly hard length ball makes Fakhar Zaman awkward and lob in the air to Pant, who finishes off the match. India have a timely wicket but the game is still in Pakistan's grip.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Arsh not that happy!
A boundary down the leg and almost chopped on. Arshdeep Singh didn't has his way in the second over. IND fading away in the game.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Relive Bumrah magic
Arshdeep Singh is back into the attack with his second over.
IND vs PAK Live Score: SIX!
Fakhar Zaman doesn't shy away from hitting a big maximum. He stepped out of the crease to get to the pitch of the ball and smacked it straight down the ground for a six!
IND vs PAK Live Score: WICKET!! USMAN KHAN FALLS!
A DRS masterstroke! Rishabh Pant insisted Rohit on taking the review and that did wonders. The prayers have been answered, they need to continue with this and scalp more wickets.
Excellent review from India and they have a wicket right after the drinks break. Just a few seconds remaining on the clock and Rohit decided to go up! Axar Patel strikes first ball!
IND vs PAK Live Score: Slow and steady doesn't always win the race
Pakistan are 57/1 at the end of 10 overs. They require 63 more runs from 60 balls. Rizwan is looking solid at the crease and is unbeaten on 27. Usman is unbeaten on 13 at the other end as they have steadied the ship for Pakistan. The only thing that will keep India in the game is wickets and they need it quickly.
IND vs PAK Live Score: India are slowing losing the grip!
With every boundary they score, India is losing their chance at winning this clash. They need to break this partnership STAT!
IND vs PAK Live Score: Drama, drama!!!
Pandya and Usman Khan get tangled in between, as Rizwan and the No.3 batter have a miscommunication. The batter was in the middle of the crease and Pandya has a shy. A direct hit and Usman was gone. Hardik did well to get to the ball after colliding with Usman. He had plenty of time to aim at the stumps but misses.
Arjun: Just 4 singles off Jadeja's first over. But he's not turning it as much as Imad Wasim was. May be Axar Patel would get some zip, but I personally think that India should continue with pace. Bring Arshdeep.
Time for some spin. Ravindra Jadeja into the attack.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Rizwan is in pain
Rizwan gets it hit hard on the glove yet again. He is in a lot of pain. Siraj bowls a knuckleball ball at hard length and Rizwan gets it hit on his glove.
End of the powerplay. PAK at 35/1 after the first six overs. India were far ahead at this stage, but they had lost both their openers by this stage. Rizwan is making the whole difference here.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Rizwan charges down to HP
SIX RUNS!! Rizwan on the attack. The keeper-batter steps outside the crease and launches it in the off side. Connects off the middle of the bat to clear 74 metres over wide long off. Hardik Pandya bowls a revenge ball on the following delivery. Hard length delivery angled towards Rizwan's glove. He looks in pain and the physio comes out to the middle. Here comes the magic spray. Rizwan is ready to continue.
Hardik Pandya is in the attack.
Usman Khan joins Rizwan to the middle.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Boom does it for IND
Bumrah does it. Makes Babar edge it down to slips and SKY takes a screamer. But is it a clean catch?? Send it upstairs. Looks very close but the fingers are underneath the ball! Its a fair catch! OUT the signal on the big screen!
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Another chances goes down
Tough chance back at Siraj. Gets his hands on the ball and lobs it into the mid off region. A very very tough chance. A reprieve to both the openers early in the innings.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Dube drops a sitter
Oh god!!! How did that happen. Shivam Dube lends Rizwan another day to live. The Pakistan batter heaves it away in the leg side towards fine leg, but Dube drops the easiest of chance at deep fine leg.
Jasprit Bumrah is here!!
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Rizwan gets Siraj's throw hit on arm
Rizwan pushes the ball back to Siraj, who tried to run out with a throw back in his followthrough. It hits him hard on his arm. And Siraj apologizes straightaway but Rizwan has run across to the other end. Drops his bat and is in some pain. Rishabh Pant checks on him as well. Hits him right on the elbow.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Babar starts with cracking shot
Siraj over Jasprit Bumrah yet again. And he gets punched away from Babar Azam. That was a shot and a half. Beats the man at mid-on for a boundary. Arshdeep pulled his length back after not getting any moment, and Siraj isn't getting any either.
This is India's 4th lowest total in T20 WC
- 79 vs New Zealand in Nagpur, 2016
- 110/7 vs New Zealand in Dubai, 2021
- 118/8 vs South Africa in Nottingham, 2009
- 119 vs Pakistan in New York, 2024 - TODAY
We are back with the chase. Babar Azam & Rizwan make their way to create history for Pakistan. Arshdeep Singh to start off with the ball. Can India pull off the unthinkable from here?
India, after being put into bat, have failed to play out their full quota of 20 overs. A disappointing effort from their batters. But credit to Pakistan for the way they bowled throughout the innings and will be happy with their effort so far.
India are bundled out for 119.
IND vs PAK: Catch dropped but Arsh gets run-out
RUN OUT AT THE STRIKER'S END! ARSHDEEP IS CAUGHT NAPPING! Siraj makes some room and slices it towards Babar at mid off. It lands short of the Pakistan skipper. Siraj was looking for a single and reaches his end. Arshdeep was instead watching the ball and slowly moves towards the other end. Rizwan runs in towards the stumps, collects the ball and takes the bails off.
IND vs PAK: Sloppy Pakistan as ever
This is sloppy from Pakistan. Afridi fails to collect the throw cleanly and concedes an extra run. Rohit and Kohli laugh sitting in the dugout.
.jpg)
Shaheen Afridi will bowl the penultimate over. Arshdeep Singh, the better option among the two unbeaten batters, is at the non-striker.. but Siraj is getting the prized doubles here.
Pakistan are one wicket away from wrapping up this Indian innings.
IND vs PAK Live Score: PANDYA TAKEN IN THE DEEP!
A very good catch in the deep by Iftikhar Ahmed. Hardik departs and this is a massive wicket as he can easily take India to a competitive total from here on. And Bumrah joins his MI captain on the following delivery. Two in two for Haris Rauf. Driven beautifully by Bumrah but straight to covers and he falls on a golden duck.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Pandya swings hard for a four
Pandya makes some room and throws his hands for a cut. Gets a thick outside edge running through to the third man boundary. Another similar stroke in the same region but this time there is Shadab Khan instead of Naseem Shah.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Amir hit Arsh with a bouncer
That must hit him hard. Arshdeep looks in pain here. It hit him on the right shoulder. The physio runs out to the middle to check Arshdeep. And he's good to go!!
Naseem Shah ends with excellent figures of 3/21 in his four overs. Four overs remaining in the innings now.
Arjun: Naseem Shah is giving Arshdeep his own medicine. The Pakistani right-arm quick is going full-throttle against the Indian left-arm seamer, who at the moment is looking like a cat on a hot tin roof.
Arshdeep Singh is here and he survives the hattrick ball.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Pant, Jadeja gone in a brink
Two in two for Amir and he is on a celebratory run here. Another soft dismissal and India are in a spot of bother here. First Rishabh Pant and then Ravindra Jadeja back in the hut.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Shivam Dube back in the dugout
Half of the Indian side is now back in the hut. Shivam Dube departs, Naseem gets his 3rd. That's a pretty soft dismissal. It sticks a bit in the surface. Dube looks to push it down the ground but is early into the shot. He hits it off the upper half of the bat and ends up chipping it straight back to Naseem who completes a simple catch in his followthrough.
5 runs off Imad Wasim's over. Alas for India, the spin quota won't be required anymore. Naseem Shah is back and he scalps Shivam Dube on 3.
One run and a wicket off Haris Rauf's over, India now on the back-foot.
Shivam Dube walks in at number 6, against the likes of Haris Rauf, Naseem Shah, Shaheen and Amir.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Surya departs
Haris Rauf gets the big fish. Suryakumar Yadav's poor form continues. Chipped straight to mid off. Amir bangs the ball onto the surface after completing the catch.
.jpg)
IND vs PAK Live Score: Bro chose violence
Imad Wasim bowls around off, Pant makes up his mind very early as he takes a stride forward and reverse sweeps it nicely over short third man for a boundary. Gets a good connection and clears the fielder inside the ring comfortably.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Hattrick of fours from Pant
Hat-trick of boundaries for Pant. Rauf is going on a journey in his opening over. Pant is pumped after a bit of sledge war with Imad Wasim and Mohd Amir, against who the dasher started taking his chances and got a few lucky chances as well.
.jpg)
High in the air but lands safely. Usman Khan with a valiant effort. Third lifeline for India's comeback man. Btw, Imad Wasim has been bought into the attack.
IND vs PAK Live Score: SKY show begin...
FOUR RUNS!! Full and on the off. Surya gets forward and plays a terrific straight drive. Hits right off the middle of the bat through mid on. The ball races through the outfield towards the boundary.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Bowled 'em!
Knocks him over. Naseem breaks the partnership that was looking threatening for Pakistan. Axar will be disappointed with himself as he was looking good at the crease. Suryakumar Yadav walks out to bat at number 5, who starts with a glorious boundary all along the carpet past mid-on.
Naseem Shah is back into the attack.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Axar chips it over for four
Axar steps outside the crease and lofts it down the ground! Clears mid off and finds the boundary.
Arjun: Rishabh Pant got into a beast in last over off Amir. Three chances went begging as the southpaw took the gung-ho road but 12 runs came off that over.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Chance goes begging
Ahmed at slip has dropped Pant off Amir's bowling. Back to back drops. Two dropped catches in a row. Rishabh Pant survives BIG TIME! First Iffi and now Usman Khan. Gets a big leading edge flying over the point fielder in the outfield. Usman runs behind it, gets his hands on the ball but puts the tough chance down.
IND vs PAK Live Score: 4,6 GO AXAR GO! 🎉
Axar Patel is attacking Shaheen with no mercy. 2 deliveries, 10 runs.
Delicacy at its best from Axar Patel! He waited for the ball and used his wrists to ramp it over the slip cordon!
A good over from India's perspective, 14 runs come off it.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Amir keeps things tight
Just four runs conceded of his over and he keeps things tight. Very tight.
Naseem Shah has been replaced with Mohammad Amir.
No Suryakumar Yadav or Hardik Pandya, India have promoted Axar Patel to number 4 in New York's tough conditions after losing Rohit and Virat inside first three overs. That's a big gamble.
IND vs PAK Live Score: Rohit departs, two wickets in two overs
That's a solid catch from Haris Rauf in the deep. India lose both their prolific openers. Bowls an in-swinger on a good length on the pads, 139.1 kmph, Rohit looks to whip it into the leg side but doesn't get it off the middle of the bat. As a result, he holes out to deep square leg where Rauf takes a very good catch.
Shaheen Afridi to continue. And Eagle has done his magic!!
IND vs PAK Live Score: Another boundary for Ro
Clipped away nicely. Naseem errs in line as he bowls it full and on the pads, Rohit isn't going to miss out. He flicks past fine leg for a boundary. 11 runs from Naseem Shah's first over but he picked Kohli's wicket in that over.
IND vs PAK Live Score: VIRAT KOHLI FALLS
Slashed away straight to cover point. The gully fielder was moved to cover point after the first ball and Kohli has hit it straight to him. Usman Khan takes a good catch inside the circle. A good start but a bit too far from his reach.
IND Vs PAK Live Score: Virat off the mark in Kohli-esque fashion
That's the way to start your innings. Kohli is away with his trademark cover drive. WOWW!!! A little fuller than the good length, Kohli leans into it and drives it beautifully through covers for a boundary. But, no's gone in three balls.
Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma are striding out.

IND vs PAK Live Score: Rohit Sharma is off...
Whipped away over the ropes. That's a fantastic pick-up shot from the 'HitMan'. On the pads, Rohit plants his front leg and picks the length early to whip it over the forward square leg fence for a maximum. Made it look so easy.
Arjun: Rohit Sharma gets off the mark with a brace as he flicked it away towards deep square leg. The ball was perfectly timed but the out-field is so slow. And a maximum from the Indian captain's blade.
Shaheen Afridi has the new cherry in hand. Rohit Sharma is on strike.

IND vs PAK Live Score: Team Previews
India
Led by Rohit Sharma, India had a phenomenal start to the T20 World Cup 2024, crushing Ireland in their opening fixture.
From Arshdeep's venomous new ball spell to Rohit Sharma's scintillating fifty, everything went according to India's plans as they steamrolled the Irish on expected lines.
While Bumrah, Pandya, Jadeja and Axar shone brightly with the ball, Virat Kohli, who flopped with the bat, must be keen to bring up his A-game against the arch-rivals.
Pakistan
On the other hand, Pakistan would be desperate to make a statement following their shocking defeat against the United States.
Besides Babar Azam's painstaking knock, the ineffectiveness of Shaheen Afridi and Mohammad Amir with the new ball was a significant factor that resulted in Pakistan's devastating loss.
Also, considering it's a must-win game for Pakistan, the Men in Green might drop Azam Khan, who has been their biggest liability in T20Is of late.
Hello and welcome to the Live Blog for the biggest cricket match of the year as Rohit Sharma's India face the Babar Azam-led Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2024 at New York's newly-tinted Nassau County International Cricket Stadium.
