The spotlight also shines brightly on Hardik Pandya. This victory brings an ICC trophy back to Indian shores. The crowd stands in ovation, recognizing the intense battle on the field. Virat Kohli&#39;s crucial innings and Jasprit Bumrah&#39;s game-changing spells were pivotal, while Arshdeep Singh&#39;s composed 19th over finally redeemed his past oversights.

Kohli steadied the innings following early dismissals of Rohit and Rishabh, crafting a masterful knock that proved vital in the match&#39;s outcome. Contributions from Shivam Dube and Axar Patel also bolstered the Indian score. In response, South Africa faltered early with Hendricks and Markram succumbing to Bumrah and Arshdeep&#39;s swing and pace respectively. Stubbs countered effectively, propelling the Proteas post-powerplay, though his effort was short-lived. The real momentum shift came through de Kock and Klaasen; Klaasen was particularly aggressive, smashing a rapid 23-ball fifty. With the game seemingly tilting in South Africa&#39;s favor, needing 30 runs from the final five overs, India&#39;s bowlers staged a remarkable comeback. Hardik Pandya dismissed Klaasen, Bumrah claimed Jansen, and Arshdeep Singh bowled an economical penultimate over. Hardik then sealed the deal, defending the totals skillfully in the final over to clinch a 7-run victory for India.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#000000\"><strong>India has joined the elite ranks of West Indies (2012 and 2016) and England (2010 and 2022) by securing their second T20 World Cup title in 2024, having first triumphed in 2007. Remarkably, this victory marks only the third instance in T20 World Cup history where a team has successfully defended a total in the final. India&#39;s squad replicated their 2007 feat this year, a distinction they share with West Indies, who accomplished this in 2012.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Virat Kohli, Player of the Match: &quot;This was my final T20 World Cup, and it was about now or never. Stepping up when it truly counted in my last T20I for India, that&rsquo;s what I wanted. I&rsquo;m deeply grateful&mdash;God has been kind. Yes, it wasn&rsquo;t a secret. I had made it clear this was my last T20I World Cup outing. This was my last T20 game playing for Indian team<\/strong><\/span>.&nbsp;<span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>We have many talented young players ready to take India forward. It&#39;s been a prolonged wait to secure another ICC title, not just for me but for Rohit too. He&#39;s competed in nine T20 World Cups and truly deserved this victory, as did the rest of our team. The resilience and character displayed by the team were phenomenal. Once the emotions settle, my overwhelming feeling will be gratitude for this incredible journey.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Jasprit Bumrah, Player of the Tournament: &quot;I&#39;m usually the one keeping my emotions in control, focusing on the task at hand, but today, I&#39;m at a loss for words. I don&#39;t normally cry after a match, but the emotions are just overwhelming. We were in a tough spot, and to come back and win from there, with my family in the stands, is just indescribable. We came close last time, and now, having played my part in clinching this victory, there&#39;s no better feeling. Throughout the tournament, I kept myself focused, stayed in my bubble, not thinking too far ahead. When the big day came, I knew I just had to deliver. I focus on one ball, one over at a time, trying not to let emotions get the best of me. But now that it&#39;s over, it&#39;s time to let those emotions out, to scream and shout. When asked to bowl the crucial 16th over, noticing the ball was slightly scuffed, I knew it might reverse. I strategized on the toughest shots for the batter and executed my plans perfectly.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#16a085\"><strong>Aiden Markram (South Africa Captain): &quot;Certainly, it&#39;s tough to swallow right now. We&#39;ll need some time to process this. Nonetheless, I&#39;m immensely proud of the team&#39;s effort throughout the tournament. Our bowling performance was commendable given the tough pitch conditions. We managed to limit India to a chaseable score. Though it&#39;s disappointing not to clinch the win, I&#39;m full of pride for our squad&#39;s resilience. Throughout this tournament, we&#39;ve seen how quickly the dynamics of a game can shift. We never took our position for granted, aware that the outcome could swing at any moment. We believed we were in a prime position to take home the trophy, but fate had other plans. Looking forward, I&#39;m optimistic. One thing&#39;s for sure: the South African team will always fight fiercely and stay competitive to the very end. Despite the setback, today remains a moment of pride for us all.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Rohit Sharma (India Captain): &quot;It&#39;s difficult to encapsulate everything we&#39;ve experienced over the past few years. We&#39;ve dedicated immense effort both individually and as a team. The preparation and strategic planning aren&#39;t just about today but reflect a sustained effort over time. When the stakes were high, everyone understood their roles and performed under pressure. Even when momentum seemed to favour South Africa, we managed to stay composed. Winning a tournament involves a lot of behind-the-scenes effort. Throughout this tournament, our performance was exceptional. Regarding Virat Kohli, his consistent excellence over the last 15 years meant that we were confident he would deliver in crucial moments. Today, he anchored our innings brilliantly, allowing others to build around him. Axar&#39;s batting was pivotal in boosting our score to a competitive total. Jasprit Bumrah&rsquo;s contribution is hard to summarize; his ability to consistently deliver under pressure is nothing short of remarkable. I&rsquo;m immensely proud of this team. The support from our fans has been overwhelming, from those here in Barbados to the millions back home staying up late to support us.

However, the decision didn&#39;t pan out as expected. India, despite losing Virat Kohli early for a modest nine runs, found their hero in Rohit Sharma, who anchored the innings with a pivotal half-century. Suryakumar Yadav contributed a brisk 47 from 36 balls, while Hardik Pandya and Ravindra Jadeja added quickfire scores of 23 and 17*, respectively, pushing India to a fighting total of 171\/7. England&#39;s response was aggressive from the outset, with Jos Buttler charging the Indian pacers, but the momentum shifted when Axar Patel dismissed him for 23. The introduction of Jasprit Bumrah and Kuldeep Yadav further tightened India&#39;s grip on the match. Axar was particularly effective, claiming crucial wickets, while Kuldeep snagged three wickets, ending with impressive figures of 3\/19. Harry Brook tried to rally with 25 runs, but a costly mix-up with Jofra Archer cut short Liam Livingstone&#39;s promising innings. Despite Archer&#39;s late hitting, the English side couldn&#39;t overcome the disciplined Indian bowling, and the match concluded with India securing a solid victory. And this victory makes it to their 3rd final of ICC T20 World Cup.

It is fitting that the two undefeated sides will meet in the final of a World Cup.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>AXAR PATEL (MAN OF THE MATCH) <img alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/bcci-stats-sports-mechanic.s3.amazonaws.com\/matchcentre\/images\/commentary\/smiley\/trophy.png\" style=\"height:23px; width:23px\" title=\"\" \/> :&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;I&#39;ve often taken on the role of bowling during the powerplay, and that was our strategy going into the game. Recognizing the assistance the pitch provided for spin and its tendency to halt the ball, I aimed for simplicity in my execution. The pitch was slow, and it was clear that it would be challenging for the batters to score freely. Based on that, I adjusted my pace to be a bit slower today, and fortunately, it paid off. Our batsmen had pointed out the difficulty in hitting on this wicket, noting that some deliveries were staying low and skidding. Given this, we were confident that setting a target above 150 would be competitive. The partnership between Rohit and Suryakumar was crucial. They managed to hit the boundary when needed and kept the scoreboard ticking with smart rotations of the strike. As for this Player of the Match award, I&#39;m focusing on celebrating this achievement in the knockout stages first, without getting ahead of myself about the final in Barbados.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>ROHIT SHARMA (INDIA CAPTAIN):&nbsp;&quot;It&#39;s incredibly satisfying to come away with a win today. The team has put in a lot of hard work, and I&#39;m proud of how everyone stepped up. We adjusted superbly to the conditions, which were far from easy, and that adaptability has been crucial to our success so far. Originally, we thought 140-150 runs might be enough, but during the middle overs, SKY and I picked up the pace, aiming for an extra 20-25 runs. I wanted to ensure our batsmen could play freely, based on their instincts. Eventually, setting a target of 175 turned out to be excellent given the circumstances. Our bowlers were outstanding. Axar and Kuldeep, our lead spinners, made it very challenging for the batsmen in these conditions, to maintain their composure under pressure. After the first innings, we focused on keeping the stumps in play, and they executed this perfectly. Regarding Virat Kohli, his class is undeniable. With his extensive experience, form is never a concern, and he might just be saving his best for the final. As a team, we&#39;ve maintained our composure, which is essential for making sound decisions during crucial moments like today. The final is a significant occasion, but staying composed will be key to our success. We haven&#39;t won an ICC trophy since 2013, but we are in good form and hopeful about putting on a strong performance in the finals.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#e74c3c\"><strong>JOS BUTTLER(ENGLAND CAPTAIN):&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;Today, India was simply the better team. We allowed them a few too many runs towards the end, which set us back on a challenging pitch. It&#39;s a different scenario from two years ago, and full credit to India&mdash;they fully deserved this victory. Regarding the toss decision, considering the weather conditions, I didn&#39;t anticipate much change in the playing conditions, which proved true. However, India&#39;s bowling was superior. In hindsight, perhaps we should have utilized Moeen Ali more, given how effective spin proved to be. Though we ended up chasing a target that was quite tough, I&#39;m proud of the effort everyone put in throughout this competition. We&#39;ve faced significant challenges and shown some excellent cricket at times.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":54,"ProjectedScore":"123","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Axar Patel","MOM_TYPE":"","MOMPlayerId":"110","MOMRuns":"10","MOMBalls":"6","MOMWicket":"3","MOMRC":"23","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/atxRpoEpd21717149050110.png","KO":"Semi Final 2"},{"CompetitionID":150,"MatchID":1522,"MatchTypeID":2,"MatchType":"T20","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-06-24","MatchDateNew":"24 Jun 2024","MatchName":"Australia vs India","MatchTime":"10:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:30 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-06-24","FirstBattingTeamID":1,"FirstBattingTeamName":"India","SecondBattingTeamID":2,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Australia","FirstBattingTeamCode":"IND","SecondBattingTeamCode":"AUS","GroundID":132,"GroundName":"Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium, Gros Islet","Commentss":"India Won by 24  Runs ","TossTeam":"Australia","TossDetails":"Australia Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"205\/5 (20.0 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"181\/7 (20.0 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-06-24 10:30:00","city":"St Lucia","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":143,"GroundUmpire2ID":32,"GroundUmpire3ID":34,"RefereeID":79,"HomeTeamID":"2","HomeTeamName":"Australia","HomeTeamColor1":"","HomeTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamColor1":"","AwayTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamID":"1","AwayTeamName":"India","timezone1":"America\/New_York","MatchEndDate":"25 Jun 2024","MatchEndTime":"13:30","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"0","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":51,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Icc Mens T20 World Cup 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Richard Illingworth","GroundUmpire2":"Richard Kettleborough","ThirdUmpire":"Michael Gough","Comments":"India Won by 24  Runs ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/aus.png?v=6","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/aus.png?v=6","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000031-b334eaf6f08611","CurrentStrikerName":"Mitchell Starc","StrikerRuns":4,"StrikerBalls":7,"StrikerFours":0,"StrikerSixes":0,"StrikerSR":57.14,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/G72N9W2TMp171842237531.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000033-d93110bbf88911","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Pat Cummins","NonStrikerRuns":11,"NonStrikerBalls":7,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":1,"NonStrikerSR":157.14,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/s9BNvknS3N171842238733.png","CurrentBowlerID":"2018-100mb00000000054-e3ebefa2050a11","CurrentBowlerName":"Hardik Pandya","BowlerOvers":"4.0","BowlerRuns":47,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":0,"BowlerEconomy":11.75,"BowlerSR":0,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/uRmEwNWkxG171714932654.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"99.58","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"205\/5 (20.0 Overs)","1FallScore":"205","1FallWickets":"5","1FallOvers":"20.0","1RunRate":"10.25","2Summary":"181\/7 (20.0 Overs)","2FallScore":"181","2FallWickets":"7","2FallOvers":"20.0","2RunRate":"9.05","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"2","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"1","MatchOrder":"T20I","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>The Daren Sammy National Cricket Stadium in St. Lucia braces for a high-stakes T20 World Cup Super 8s clash.

We were smart with the bat and adjusted well with the conditions here with the ball.All the batters need to play their roles, whatever they are. We saw only one batter get to 50 and still get to 190.

This is the first for a batter, and I hope it&#39;s the first of many. Facing Rashid Khan is always tough; he&#39;s challenging to get away. Adjusting from the US to the West Indies, it&#39;s crucial to have a clear game plan. Putting the team first is essential when you step out there. I remember telling Hardik not to leave too much for the end when the ball gets old and starts reversing.

However, the match result is what matters most. We&#39;ve enjoyed playing cricket everywhere, but our mindset is crucial.

We adapted well and scored 180, which was a great effort from the batters. Our bowlers were exceptional, defending the total perfectly. Everyone came in and did their job, which is critical and something we focus on. The partnership between Suryakumar Yadav and Hardik Pandya was crucial at that point; we needed someone to bat deep, and they did just that. We all know Bumrah&#39;s class and what he can do. It&#39;s important for us to use him smartly regardless of conditions. He&#39;s always willing to take responsibility and has been doing it for years. Regarding the three-spinner combination, we have to assess the conditions and the opposition, and based on that, we&#39;re open to making changes if required. We felt that three spinners were the right choice here, but if the conditions are more seamer-friendly next time, we&#39;ll go with more seamers.&quot;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","MatchRow":43,"ProjectedScore":"134","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Suryakumar Yadav","MOM_TYPE":"","MOMPlayerId":"174","MOMRuns":"53","MOMBalls":"28","MOMWicket":"-","MOMRC":"-","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/qOyeQIdgKV1717149077174.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":150,"MatchID":1402,"MatchTypeID":2,"MatchType":"T20","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-06-15","MatchDateNew":"15 Jun 2024","MatchName":"Canada vs India","MatchTime":"09:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:30 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-06-15","FirstBattingTeamID":1,"FirstBattingTeamName":"India","SecondBattingTeamID":37,"SecondBattingTeamName":"Canada","FirstBattingTeamCode":"IND","SecondBattingTeamCode":"CAN","GroundID":77,"GroundName":"Central Broward Park & Broward County Stadium, Lauderhill","Commentss":"Match Abandoned","TossTeam":"India","TossDetails":null,"TossText":null,"Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"","SecondBattingSummary":"","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-06-15 09:30:00","city":"Florida","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":306,"GroundUmpire2ID":32,"GroundUmpire3ID":299,"RefereeID":84,"HomeTeamID":"37","HomeTeamName":"Canada","HomeTeamColor1":"","HomeTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamColor1":"","AwayTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamID":"1","AwayTeamName":"India","timezone1":"America\/New_York","MatchEndDate":"16 Jun 2024","MatchEndTime":"13:00","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"0","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":33,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Icc Mens T20 World Cup 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Shrfudoula","GroundUmpire2":"Richard Kettleborough","ThirdUmpire":"Rod Tucker","Comments":"Match Abandoned","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/0TSjwFbKLl1709808288can.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/0TSjwFbKLl1709808288can.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"","CurrentStrikerName":"","StrikerRuns":0,"StrikerBalls":0,"StrikerFours":0,"StrikerSixes":0,"StrikerSR":0,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/","CurrentNonStrikerID":"","CurrentNonStrikerName":"","NonStrikerRuns":0,"NonStrikerBalls":0,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":0,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/","CurrentBowlerID":"","CurrentBowlerName":"","BowlerOvers":"0","BowlerRuns":0,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":0,"BowlerEconomy":0,"BowlerSR":0,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"","CurrentInnings":null,"1Summary":"","1FallScore":"","1FallWickets":"","1FallOvers":"","1RunRate":"","2Summary":"","2FallScore":"","2FallWickets":"","2FallOvers":"","2RunRate":"","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"2","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"","MatchOrder":"T20I","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>In the heart of Florida, where the sun and clouds engage in a celestial dance, the stage is set for a showdown between India and Canada.

The Pakistani bowlers, led by the dynamic duo of Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf, who bagged three wickets each, kept India to a modest score of 119. Amidst the tussle for runs, Rishabh Pant emerged as the top contributor for India, crafting a pivotal 42 off 31 balls.The chase by Pakistan was marked by caution, with the openers initially holding fort. The fall of Babar Azam&rsquo;s wicket to the crafty Jasprit Bumrah was a turning point. Usman Khan and Mohammad Rizwan then stitched together a partnership of 47 runs, only for Axar Patel to break it with his very first delivery.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Hold your breath! This encounter witnessed India defending the lowest total in their T20I history and Pakistan faltering in a chase that seemed within grasp. The poignant sight of Naseem Shah, consoled by Shaheen Afridi, captured the emotional intensity of the match. Both teams displayed exemplary grit on a pitch that was less than forgiving, living up to the legendary India-Pakistan rivalry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Jasprit Bumrah was the architect of the defense, ending with an impressive 4-0-14-3. Mohammed Siraj&rsquo;s economical spell and Hardik Pandya&rsquo;s late-game heroics, with figures of 2 for 6 in his final overs, were instrumental in turning the tide after an expensive start.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><strong>A STIRRING COMEBACK! The Men in Blue have etched another memorable win! Exhilaration fills the Indian camp, while Pakistan, despite being the early favorites, faces a second successive setback. India&rsquo;s strategy of tight bowling, conceding just a handful of runs per over, and applying pressure at critical moments paid off handsomely. Despite the rain&rsquo;s interruptions, the spirit of the game shone through, ensuring that an India vs. Pakistan clash is always a spectacle to behold!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p><br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Jasprit Bumrah | Player of the Match: &quot;Yeah, it feels really good to win this one, especially since we felt our score was a bit under par with the sun coming out. We had to be disciplined with the ball, and I&#39;m really happy with how we performed. I try to keep things simple when I bowl&mdash;just hitting the seam and letting the pitch do the rest. The cheer from the crowd felt like we were playing in India; it&rsquo;s always appreciated and gives us a lot of energy. You know, we just focus on the now, we&rsquo;ve played two games and played them well. Nothing changes; we stick to our process and come out and try to execute the plan.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#16a085\"><strong>Babar Azam&nbsp; | Pakistan Captain:&quot;I think we bowled well after the 10th over and restricted them to 120, which was a good effort here. We started well but lost back-to-back wickets which didn&#39;t help. We played too many dot balls, and that period really hurt us. We didn&rsquo;t take the game deep enough. We always try to utilize the first six overs, but we didn&#39;t manage to do that today. The pitch was decent; the ball was coming onto the bat nicely, although a few balls stayed low, which is okay for drop-in pitches. We have to sit down and discuss our approach for the last two games.&quot;&nbsp;<\/strong><\/span><br \/>\n<br \/>\n&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><span style=\"color:#2980b9\"><strong>Rohit Sharma&nbsp; | India Captain:&quot;I think we didn&rsquo;t bat well enough today. Being 80 for 3 at one stage, you expect the guys to build a partnership. We were probably 15-20 runs short. But, honestly, it was a good wicket compared to the last two we played on here; 140 would have been a fighting score. With our bowling attack, you always feel confident that the boys can do the job. It&#39;s about the never say die attitude in our team. We only had 119 on the board, so we needed to make early inroads, which we didn&rsquo;t. At the halfway stage of their innings, we regrouped and reminded ourselves that if things can happen to us, they can happen to them as well.&quot;<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":19,"ProjectedScore":"113","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Jasprit Bumrah","MOM_TYPE":"","MOMPlayerId":"9","MOMRuns":"0","MOMBalls":"1","MOMWicket":"3","MOMRC":"14","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/ROqJKJ8xZA17171493589.png","KO":""},{"CompetitionID":150,"MatchID":1399,"MatchTypeID":2,"MatchType":"T20","MatchStatus":"Post","MatchDate":"2024-06-05","MatchDateNew":"5 Jun 2024","MatchName":"India vs Ireland","MatchTime":"09:30","GMTMatchTime":"14:30 GMT","GMTMatchDate":"2024-06-05","FirstBattingTeamID":12,"FirstBattingTeamName":"Ireland","SecondBattingTeamID":1,"SecondBattingTeamName":"India","FirstBattingTeamCode":"IRE","SecondBattingTeamCode":"IND","GroundID":130,"GroundName":"Nassau County International Cricket Stadium","Commentss":"India Won by 8  Wickets ","TossTeam":"India","TossDetails":"India Won The Toss And Elected To Field","TossText":" Won The Toss And Elected To Field","Flag":1,"FirstBattingSummary":"96\/10 (16.0 Ov)","SecondBattingSummary":"97\/2 (12.2 Ov)","ClientMatchID":"","MATCH_COMMENCE_START_DATE":"2024-06-05 09:30:00","city":"New York","FlickrAlbumID":"","LiveStream":"","FBURL":"","T20ProMatchID":"","Temperature":"","WeatherIcon":"","TempUpdatedDate":"","GroundUmpire1ID":61,"GroundUmpire2ID":29,"GroundUmpire3ID":32,"RefereeID":85,"HomeTeamID":"1","HomeTeamName":"India","HomeTeamColor1":"","HomeTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamColor1":"","AwayTeamColor2":"","AwayTeamID":"12","AwayTeamName":"Ireland","timezone1":"America\/New_York","MatchEndDate":"5 Jun 2024","MatchEndTime":"13:00","MATCH_NO_OF_OVERS":"20","ROUND_ID":"0","MatchTypeName":"T20","RowNo":8,"TeamType":null,"CompetitionName":"Icc Mens T20 World Cup 2024","GroundUmpire1":"Alex Wharf","GroundUmpire2":"Chris Gaffaney","ThirdUmpire":"Richard Kettleborough","Comments":"India Won by 8  Wickets ","HomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/ireland-logo.png?v=5","AwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","MatchHomeTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/india.png","MatchAwayTeamLogo":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/teamlogos\/ireland-logo.png?v=5","VideoScorecard":0,"TimeZone":"+9.5","CurrentStrikerID":"2018-100mb00000000018-6e65e6f7e99c11","CurrentStrikerName":"Rishabh Pant","StrikerRuns":36,"StrikerBalls":26,"StrikerFours":3,"StrikerSixes":2,"StrikerSR":138.46,"StrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/BywvMQAfnE171714908618.png","CurrentNonStrikerID":"2019-100mb00000000211-dc1f6a2544bb11","CurrentNonStrikerName":"Shivam Dube","NonStrikerRuns":0,"NonStrikerBalls":2,"NonStrikerFours":0,"NonStrikerSixes":0,"NonStrikerSR":0,"NonStrikerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/Ny05Utu3lX1717149105211.png","CurrentBowlerID":"5d1118c37f2c4c5b88a25cf51b3cd7d","CurrentBowlerName":"Barry Mccarthy","BowlerOvers":"2.2","BowlerRuns":18,"BowlerMaidens":0,"BowlerWickets":0,"BowlerEconomy":7.71,"BowlerSR":0,"BowlerImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/ZRIJPDgARt1717412897653.png","ChasingText":"","MatchBreakComments":"","MatchProgress":"80.83","CurrentInnings":"2","1Summary":"96\/10 (16.0 Overs)","1FallScore":"96","1FallWickets":"10","1FallOvers":"16.0","1RunRate":"6","2Summary":"97\/2 (12.2 Overs)","2FallScore":"97","2FallWickets":"2","2FallOvers":"12.2","2RunRate":"7.86","3Summary":"","3FallScore":"","3FallWickets":"","3FallOvers":"","3RunRate":"","4Summary":"","4FallScore":"","4FallWickets":"","4FallOvers":"","4RunRate":"","5Summary":"","5FallScore":"","5FallWickets":"","5FallOvers":"","5RunRate":"","6Summary":"","6FallScore":"","6FallWickets":"","6FallOvers":"","6RunRate":"","DivisionID":"2","SecondInningsFirstBattingID":null,"SecondInningsFirstBattingName":"","SecondInningsSecondBattingID":null,"SecondInningsSecondBattingName":"","ThirdInningsFirstBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsFirstBattingName":"","ThirdInningsSecondBattingID":null,"ThirdInningsSecondBattingName":"","WinningTeamID":"1","MatchOrder":"T20I","RevisedOver":"","RevisedTarget":"","PreMatchCommentary":"<p><strong>India and Ireland are set to kick off their T20 World Cup campaign in the match number eight of ICC Men&#39;s T20 World Cup 2024 at the Nassau County International Stadium in New York.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>India enters the contest with confidence, having completed a successful IPL season.

Quite unsure of what to expect from the pitch. Not aware of what it is to play on a pitch that&#39;s five months old. I don&#39;t think the wicket settled down even when we batted second. There was enough for the bowlers. That&#39;s pretty much what you gotta do. Try to hit those lengths consistently. Arshdeep&#39;s two wickets upfront set the tone for us. &nbsp;If conditions are there for seamers, we wanted to have that. Spin will play a part later on. Today was a four-seamer pitch and we still managed to get two spinners who are all-rounders. I don&#39;t know what to expect from the pitch, to be honest.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n","MatchRow":8,"ProjectedScore":"157","2ndProjectedScore":"0","3rdProjectedScore":"0","MOM":"Jasprit Bumrah","MOM_TYPE":"Bowling","MOMPlayerId":"9","MOMRuns":"-","MOMBalls":"-","MOMWicket":"2","MOMRC":"6","MOMImage":"https:\/\/scores.bcci.tv\/matchcentre\/playerimages\/ROqJKJ8xZA17171493589.png","KO":""}]});
