Pakistan have all-out for 191 against archrival India in a much-anticipated match of ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad, India on Saturday.
Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav's twin strikes triggered a Pakistani batting line-up collapse.
From 155/2, Pakistan lost five wickets for 16 runs and found themselves in danger of getting bowled for under 200. They were eventually bundled out for 191.
Pakistani star batter Babar Azam and Mohammad Rizwan were in the middle of a partnership that looked rather threatening for India after two timely strikes from Mohammed Siraj and Hardik Pandya got rid of the Pakistan openers. But once Siraj had the Pakistan captain playing on, ending the 82-run stand, Pakistan's wheels came off. Kuldeep had Saud Shakeel out LBW before bowling Iftikhar Ahmed around his legs.
Shortly after Bumrah bowled a peach to dismiss Rizwan and then subsequently removed Shadab Khan in the next over.
