Hardik Pandya gave the final blow as he clean bowled Usman Tariq, which shattered the stumps. Tariq was dismissed on a duck as he could not even manage to score a single run.
This gave an end to the Pakistani innings as they could manage to score only 114 runs. The wicket of Tariq meant that Pakistan was bowled out even before reaching the target.
This was a complete performance by Team India. The bowlers bowled exceptionally well as they took wickets regularly. They did not allow any partnership to be formed during this match.
This gave India a massive win by 61 runs, which is a commanding performance by Team India.
Ishan Kishan | Player of the Match:
The pitch was not easy at the beginning. I just focused on my strengths. I tried to rotate the strike and run the fielders. I have worked hard on my off-side shots.
We thought 160-170 was a good score on this kind of wicket. India vs Pakistan is a very special game for all the players and the country. We got a great confidence by winning this game. We want to continue our momentum.
When Shaheen was bowling, I didn’t feel that the ball was doing anything for the pacers. The way Bumrah and Hardik bowled those two overs was outstanding.
