Following the batting spectacle, India's pace bowlers took center stage. Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj tormented Pakistan's openers, inducing awkward footwork and unsettling both the swing and seam.
Pakistan's skipper, Babar Azam, found himself at sea against the relentless deliveries that swung away and repeatedly beat the outside edge. Imam-ul-Haq and Fakhar Zaman faced similar challenges, struggling to make an impact as India's bowlers maintained unwavering accuracy.
Babar Azam, the No.1 ODI batter globally, faced immense pressure from Bumrah and Siraj, which resulted in his early dismissal. Hardik Pandya joined the attack, delivering a decisive nipbacker that shattered Babar's stumps. The subsequent rain break did little to deter India's momentum.
Kuldeep Yadav seized the opportunity to dismantle Pakistan's batting lineup, clinching five crucial wickets and leaving Pakistan reeling. His exquisite spin artistry continued to bewilder the Pakistani batsmen.
Fakhar Zaman's ill-judged swing led to his bowled dismissal, while Agha Salman fell victim to a well-executed leg-before-wicket trap. Shadab Khan was enticed into a risky stroke and found Shardul Thakur at long-on.
Kuldeep secured his fourth wicket when Iftikhar Ahmed gifted him a simple return catch, and Faheem Ashraf succumbed to a deceptive wrong 'un. Pakistan's pursuit of victory crumbled, culminating in a final score of 128 for 8 in 32 overs.
TIMBERRRR! 💥@imkuldeep18 puts himself in the wickets column, foxing ace batter @FakharZamanLive!
