IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2022: India's all-rounder Hardik Pandya was on song against arch-rivals Pakistan once again in the bowling department. The right-arm seamer has jolted Pakistan's middle order with his bouncers and sent three batters back in his four overs. Watching the 29-year-old displaying his best with the ball, fans on social media could not keep calm.
Here's are some of the tweets:
Hardik Pandya ended up with brilliant figures of 4-30-3. He displayed brilliant short balls and took the wickets of Haider Ali, Mohammad Nawaz, and Shadab Khan. Pakistan ended with a competitive total of 159 runs in 20 overs as Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed scored crucial fifties for the boys in green. Also, Shaheen Afridi played a bit of a cameo to help Pakistan score a fightable total. For India, Arshdeep Singh provided India with a brilliant start and sent both Mohammad Rizwan and Babar Azam quickly back to the hut. Pakistan then staged a comeback with Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed's crucial knocks. However, Shami removed Ahmed, while Pandya removed Pakistan's middle order as the match looked like a seesaw in the first innings. India need to score 160 runs to beat Pakistan for the sixth time in T20 World Cup history.
