India's batting in the mammoth clash against Pakistan collapsed spectacularly as the team bundled only for a total of 119 despite being at 81/3 at one point and going strong with a run rate of 8 runs.

But India's batting outside of Rishabh Pant was completely devoid of ideas as they collapsed. India's power hitters in Suryakumar Yadav and Shubhman Gill departed for a cheap after a horrific show with the bat. The dismissals of Shivam Dube and Suryakumar irritated a lot of fans as Indian Captain Rohit Sharma and coach Rahul Dravid were questioned for dropping Rinku Singh.

India's Batting Collapse

Pacers Naseem Shah, Mohammad Amir and Haris Rauf produced important spells as Pakistan bowled out India to 119 in their T20 World Cup match at Nassau County Stadium in New York.

Naseem Shah (3/21), Mohammad Amir (2/23) and Haris Rauf (3/21) exploited a slightly two-paced pitch to apply break on India’s batters, except Rishabh Pant (42, 31b, 6x4), who played a few breathtaking shots. India lost last seven wickets for 28 runs.

Earlier, Pakistan skipper Babar Azam won the toss and opted to bowl on a day when there were multiple rain interruptions.

Brief scores: 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).
