At the halfway stage of their chase at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, Pakistan were in contention. Very much so. Needing 120 to get their stuttering T20 World Cup campaign back on the rails, they had reached 57 for one, requiring a further 63 off 60 deliveries with nine wickets in hand. Ninety-five times out of hundred, the batting team would have got the job done from that position.
This wasn’t one of those times. With the indefatigable Jasprit Bumrah leading their charge and the rest of the bowling group rising to the occasion, India pulled off one of their more famous victories, by six runs as Pakistan crashed and burned to finish on 113 for seven at the completion of their allotment of overs.
