Pakistan bowler Naseem Shah in tears after India snatch win from jaws of defeat in New York – Watch

Pakistan seamer Naseem Shah was in tears after his side failed to win the match against India in the 2024 T20 World Cup in New York. Pakistan were placed comfortably in the 120-run chase till the 11th over before Team India made an incredible comeback and snatched the game from the jaws of defeat. The loss was too much to take for Naseem, as he cried on his way to the dressing room after the match.

Following Arshdeep Singh’s final delivery that went for just one run, separate sets of emotions were on display from both camps. While the Indian players, dressing room and thousands of fans in attendance erupted in joy, the Pakistan players looked utterly disappointed with their performance, with fans shell-shocked by the result.

Meanwhile, Naseem was one of the two Pakistani bowlers who picked three wickets against India, with Haris Rauf being the other. After asking India to bat first, Naseem broke the opening stand, removing Virat Kohli caught at point on four. The new-ball bowler kept it tight throughout the India innings, removing Axar Patel and Shivam Dube later.

Even during the chase, Naseem showed intent by going for boundaries despite the target looking out of his reach.

India on top in New York

The Men in Blue were victorious against Pakistan in this tournament for the seventh time in history, with the latest win coming at the Nassau County Cricket Stadium by six runs. India fared poorly with the bat, getting all out for a mere 119.

While Rishabh Pant was India’s best batter on the day, scoring a hard-fought 42, only two others (Axar Patel – 20 and Rohit Sharma – 13) could reach the double-digit mark.
Pakistan lost Captain Babar Azam early, but Mohammad Rizwan and Usman Khan stood tall till the 11th over, keeping their side’s hopes alive in this run chase. That, however, was the last timethey had their noses ahead.

India won the middle-over battle, picking three wickets for 25 runs in the next four overs. Even though Pakistan had a chance to up the ante, they failed, as Bumrah picked two wickets, including the big one of Iftikhar Ahmed caught in the deep in the penultimate over.

With 18 runs needed off the last six balls, Arshdeep defended the total as India won by six runs to sit on the top of the points table in Group A.
