Former spinner Harbhajan Singh has heaped praise on Team India after their thrilling win over Pakistan in the 19th game of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
India pulled off a remarkable victory against the arch-rivals to register their second win in as many games in the ongoing tournament. India had their back against the wall after they were bowled out for just 119 runs. Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf starred with the ball for Pakistan, taking three wickets each.
In reply, Pakistan were on 72 for 2 after 12 overs, needing 48 runs in as many balls with 8 wickets in hand. India were firmly on the back foot and were looking destined to end up on the losing side. However, the Rohit Sharma-led side bounced back in style and snatched victory from the jaws of defeat by restricting Pakistan to 113 for 7. Jasprit Bumrah, made the difference with the ball for India, taking 3 wickets for just 14 runs in 4 overs.
