India was asked into bat and, in 19 overs, were bowled out for 119 by a brilliant Pakistani bowling attack. In 12 T20I matches since 2007, it was India’s lowest T20I score against Pakistan and the first time they have been outclassed by Pakistan.

Pakistan responded by getting off to a strong start, but India’s defensive bowling and late wickets helped them rally. India had 18 to get in the final, thanks to Jasprit Bumrah’s scintillating 3/14 in four overs, which included a fantastic 19th over in which he conceded only three runs. Arshdeep Singh, a left-arm seamer, bowled the 20th over for just 11 runs, giving India their second straight nervous victory.

As a result, India matched Sri Lanka’s record for the lowest amount successfully defended. In the 2014 World Cup, Sri Lanka had bundled the Kiwis for sixty runs after successfully defending their target of 119 runs. India has never before successfully defended a T20I total under 120. India’s lowest T20I scoring defence to far was 138 against Zimbabwe in 2016. India’s greatest defence in T20 World Cups was a 146-run total against Bangladesh in 2016.
