Yuvraj Singh and Shahid Afridi, the ambassadors of the ICC T20 World Cup 2024, on Tuesday, revealed their conversation during the blockbuster match between India and Pakistan at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in New York on June 9, where the Men in Blue won by six runs. Put to bat first, India suffered a collapse to set a 120-run target. Pakistan saw themselves cruising towards a win at 80 for three in 14 overs before a death-bowling masterclass from Jasprit Bumrah, and the pace unit saw the 2009 champions being restricted to just 113.
In the chase of 120, Mohammad Rizwan held one end of the crease with a valiant knock that left Pakistan just 40 runs away from a win in 36 balls. However, Bumrah removed Rizwan and Iftikhar Ahmed in a terrific spell and Pakistan never managed to recover from the blow. Amid lack of partnerships, the team succumbed to a six-run loss.
