India thrash Pakistan by record 61-run margin
India capped off the victory when Hardik Pandya claimed the final wicket. Pakistan’s chase of 176 never gained momentum, as regular breakthroughs kept the pressure firmly on their batting line-up. Pandya played a key role with the ball alongside Jasprit Bumrah, Axar Patel and Varun Chakaravarthy, with each picking up two wickets to dismantle Pakistan’s innings.
Following India’s victory, Suryakumar Yadav hailed the team’s fearless approach and collective effort. “This is for India. We played the same brand of cricket we wanted to play. The way Ishan batted, he batted the same way (he has been batting in the last few games and domestic cricket). Ishan thought something out of the box. At 0-1, someone needed to take responsibility and he did that amazingly. There was a bit of a slump but that is the beauty of t20 cricket,” he said.
