Description:

The 2024 T20 World Cup campaign has been disappointing so far for the Pakistan cricket team as the Babar Azam-led side slumped to a six-run defeat against India on Sunday. It was Pakistan"s second loss in two matches after being upset by the USA in their first group match. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf took three wickets each to lift India to 119, but a disciplined performance by India"s pacemen, especially Jasprit Bumrah, handed Pakistan a crushing defeat.

The defeat suffered by Pakistan against India was a significant setback to their qualification for the Super 8 round in the competition.Pakistan have 0 points from 2 games and their chances of qualifying are pretty slim right now.

The Babar Azam-led team will need to win their remaining two matches against Canada and Ireland in the hope of keeping the USA and Canada from winning another game.Even if Pakistan win both their matches and USA lose the other two matches, qualification for the Super 8 stage will be calculated by Net Run Rate (NRR). Both sides have 4 points from 4 games and Pakistan need several results for their trip.Fast bowler Jasprit Bumah, who was named man of the match after the game, was highly appreciative of his performance against Pakistan."It"s really good. We felt we were a little lower and when the sun came up the going got a little better. We were really disciplined so it feels good. I tried to hit the seam as much as possible, I tried to be as clear as possible in my performance and everything went well, so I felt happy. It felt like we played in India, very happy with the support and it gives us energy on the pitch. Let"s focus on this moment. We played two games and played very well. You stick to your processes and you seem to be playing well," Bumrah said after the match..
