A top-class bowling spell from pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah and a match-saving knock by Rishabh Pant were the highlights as India defeated Pakistan by six runs in their ICC T20 World Cup clash at New York’s Nassau County Stadium on Sunday.

Following the game, Bumrah said during the post-match presentation, “It feels really good. We felt we were a little under and the wicket got a little better after the sun came out. We were really disciplined, so it felt good. Tried to hit the seam as much as I could, and tried to be as clear as I could with my execution, and it all came out well, so I felt happy.”

Bumrah also appreciated the crowd, which turned up in huge numbers and cheered their hearts out for the Men in Blue. “Felt like we were playing in India, really happy with the support, and that gives us energy on the field. We focus on the now. We have played two games and played really well. You stick to your processes and look to play well,” he concluded.
