T20 World Cup: India’s Drought of ICC Trophies Finally Ends: Incredible victory
India have managed to secure an incredible victory in this ICC T20 World Cup match! Despite Axar Patel’s expensive 15th over, which yielded 24 runs and seemed to have tilted the game in South Africa’s favor, the pacers mounted a remarkable comeback. Suryakumar Yadav’s outstanding catch was the icing on the cake.
Having set a target of 177 runs, the Indian pacers started off brilliantly. Although they were hit for a few boundaries, Jasprit Burmah and Arshdeep Singh each claimed a wicket to even things out. The spinners, however, had an off day and were taken for plenty of runs during the middle overs. Hardik Pandya provided crucial support to the frontline pacers, helping to keep the pressure on the Proteas.
The final five overs were nothing short of spectacular from the Indian pacers specially from Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. They maintained a stranglehold on the South African batsmen, giving them no room to breathe by consistently bowling dot balls and taking wickets. In the end, their tireless efforts paid off as they successfully defended the total by 9 runs, sending the entire nation into a frenzy of celebration.
Pandya, who bowled the final over, shared his thoughts: “It means a lot. It is very emotional. We worked very hard but something was not clicking.
Virat Kohli was declared the MOM thus leaving the mark on the coveted Final of world cup.
