India clinch six-run win over Pakistan in T20 World Cup as bowlers shine in New York

India's bowlers rose to the occasion as they sealed a six-run win over Pakistan in a T20 World Cup thriller in New York on Sunday.

Batting proved to be a nightmare at the Nassau County stadium once again. India collapsed to 119 all out after some disciplined bowling from Pakistan's pace bowlers.

In reply, Pakistan could only manage 113-7 as Jasprit Bumrah (3-14) ripped the heart out of Pakistan's batting, with good support from the rest of the attack.

It was smallest total India had defended successfully in T20s.

Babar Azam started the chase with good intent in the company of Mohammad Rizwan, knowing well that runs would be hard to come by after the powerplay overs.

Pakistan were 80-3 after 14 overs with a little over run a ball required. But just as India's batting had capitulated towards the end, Pakistan's too faltered.

Rizwan was holding the innings together on 31, having already received a life early when Shivam Dube dropped a sitter at fine leg.

But Bumrah got his revenge as he snuck through his defence to rattle the stumps. From there, India were all over Pakistan as they did not concede a single boundary from the 15th to the penultimate over.
