NEW DELHI: In bowling-friendly overcast conditions that followed rain, Pakistan bowlers breathed fire as India were bowled out for a below-par 119 in the high-octane T20 World Cup clash at the Nassau Stadium in New York on Sunday.
After initial setbacks, which saw India losing Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma inside the powerplay, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel did lead a brief recovery.
But soon after Axar was dismissed in the 8th over as India innings collapsed like a pack of cards. The team lost the last 7 wickets for 30 runs, folding in 19 overs.
There were 8 single digit scores in the Indian batting line-up as they completely collapsed against a quality Pakistan pace bowling attack.
The likes of Suryakumar Yadav (7), Shivam Dube (3), Hardik Pandya (7) and Ravindra Jadeja (0) in the middle-order, all had disappointing outings as India succumbed to a below-par total.
Social media was left stunned amid India’s shock collapse against Pakistan.
