It was not exciting at all as India exposed Pakistan’s inexperienced batting line up to 127 for 9 wickets and getting to the target with 4.1 overs in the bank, the game between the arch rivals and seen as the mother of cricket lacking the traditional battle of rivelry.
The body language between the two camps was appaling. Pakistan captain Salman Agha did not present himself for the post-match ceremony after getting thumped by 7 wickets. The Indian team did not shake the hand of Pakistan players after winning the match, these were the reasons given by Pakistan for not attending the post-match presentation ceremony.
What a shame to our beloved game. Sadly, politics and hidden agenda have now raised its head in a Pakistan against India cricket battle, shame to state the least.
Pakistan has an inexperienced batting line up, and India exposed it by restricting them to 127 for 9 wickets in 20 overs with Kuldip Yadav claiming a Player of the Match 3 wickets for 18
Pakistan was lucky to reach the three figure score because they were reeling on 85 for 7 wickets. Thanks to Shahid Afridi, who thumped 4 sixes and made 33 runs with a strike rate of 206 at the back end that Pakistan managed to get to the 127.
Shahib Farhan 40 , Afridi 33, and Fakhar Zaman 17, the rest had single digits against their names.
Kuldeep 3 for 18 , Axer Patel 2 for 18 , Bumrah 2 for 28 , Varun Chackrawathy 1 for 24 simply embarrassed the Pakistan batting
India reached 131 for 3 wickets in 15.1 overs, Suriyakumar Yadav 47 not out , Abisheik Sharma 31, Thilak Varma 31.
One-sided game period. All traditions and spirit of the game ignored, sad day for international cricket.
