Pandya's nonchalant response to Shadab Khan's dismissal has gone viral.

Speaking about the game, the Indian bowlers, spearheaded by the exceptional Jasprit Bumrah, were all-around fantastic, guiding their team to an exciting six-run victory over Pakistan in a low-scoring T20 World Cup encounter on Sunday in New York.

India limited Pakistan to 113 for seven, as Bumrah (3/14) and Hardik Pandya (2/24) gave nothing away while defending a meagre 120.

After a few rain delays, Pakistan's pacers, Mohammad Amir and Naseem Shah, knocked India out for 119 thanks to impressive performances.

A somewhat two-paced pitch was exploited by Shah (3/21) and Amir (2/23) to inflict a break on India's batters, with the exception of Rishabh Pant (42, 31b, 6x4), who produced some amazing strokes.



Brief scores: Pakistan: 113/7 in 20 overs (Mohammad Rizwan 31; Hardik Pandya 2/24, Jasprit Bumrah 3/14) lost to India: 119 all out in 19 overs (Rishabh Pant 42, Axar Patel 20; Naseem Shah 3/21, Mohammad Amir 2/23, Haris Rauf 3/21) by six runs.
