With the pressure building and Australia eyeing a substantial total, Cummins decided to take matters into his own hands. Facing Bumrah's delivery, he aimed to clear the boundary with a powerful slog towards the leg side. However, fate had different plans for the Aussie skipper.

The ball, delivered with Bumrah's trademark accuracy, struck the toe end of Cummins' bat, causing a miscue. The ball soared into the deep, and the tension in the stadium escalated as fans watched its trajectory anxiously.

On the boundary, India's Shreyas Iyer demonstrated extraordinary fielding prowess. Positioned at long-on, he sprinted forward and dived full stretch to complete a stunning catch. The crowd erupted in celebration as Cummins walked back to the pavilion.

Cummins' dismissal was a turning point in the match, tilting the balance in India's favor. It highlighted the importance of precision in cricket and the exhilarating drama that the ICC World Cup consistently delivers. 

At the time of writing, Australia is at 167/8 in 45 overs as Adam Zampa replaces Pat Cummins.
