India won against Pakistan by 6 runs

Pakistan’s disappointing T20 World Cup journey continued with a narrow loss to arch-rival India in New York. Defending a modest 119-run total, India bowled strategically, restricting Pakistan to 113 for seven. This defeat leaves Pakistan on the brink of an early exit, needing victories against Ireland and Canada to stay in contention.

Jasprit Bumrah's key performance included dismissing captain Babar Azam and crucial batsman Mohammad Rizwan (31), while Pakistan's middle order faltered. Earlier, Pakistan had won the toss and elected to bowl, successfully bundling India out for 119 in overcast conditions. Pacer Nasim Shah struck early, removing Virat Kohli and later Axar Patel, while Shaheen Shah Afridi dismissed Rohit Sharma. Haris Rauf took Suryakumar Yadav's wicket, and Mohammad Amir claimed Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja. Despite their impressive bowling, Pakistan's batsmen failed to capitalize, resulting in their continued struggle in the tournament.
