In a closely contested T20 World Cup Group A match on Sunday, India emerged victorious over Pakistan by a margin of six runs at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium, which hosted over 34,000 spectators in a temporary setup. Pakistan, after winning the toss, chose to field first on a pitch that offered variable bounce. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf each claimed three wickets, while Rishabh Pant top-scored for India with a brisk 42, leading to their total of 119 all out. In their chase, Mohammad Rizwan provided a solid start with his 31, but Pakistan struggled with frequent dismissals. India's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, was instrumental in the victory, securing 3-14. This win maintains India's flawless record in Group A, with two wins in as many games, while Pakistan remains winless, having also lost to the United States in their opener.
