Ahead of the highly anticipated match T20 World Cup 2024 between the arch-rivals India and Pakistan AP Dhillon delivers an entertaining performance for the New York crowds. Just before the game, the Indo-Canadian singer, rapper, and record producer who has been one of the nation’s hot-selling artists with various records going viral lit up the crowd. The match was held on June 9 at Nassau County International Cricket Stadium in the United States. Previously he was present for another big cricket event as he came for the opening ceremony of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) season one. Sharing the glimpse of the singer from the event ICC wrote in their official social media, “A star-studded affair in New York. AP Dhillon is at the Nassau County International Cricket Stadium for the iconic #INDvPAK clash.”
Dhillon was spotted in a blue jersey supporting India’s team for this biggest match of the year. Let’s check out the complete details of yesterday’s match.
India beat Pakistan for 9 runs
The game was spine-chilling at every moment. Pakistan won the toss and opted to bowl first. Despite rain interrupting the game for a long time, the Paks were able to put up an incredible bowling performance right from the get-go leading to a total of ten dismissals.
Although the Indians expected to get a decent batting performance from the legendary openers Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, their heart broke after King Kohli’s wicket fell after three balls with just 4 runs in name. Moreover, after Sharma’s dismissal at 13 Rishabh Pant geared up the match leading India in making the low score of 119 runs.
The match seems to be in Pak’s favor with only 120 targets. However, the pitch seems to be in the Indian bowler’s favor. The Pakistani batters have been under pressure from the powerplay. After Jasprit Bumrah’s spectacular spell and other bowler’s incredible performances from Hardik Pandya, Arshdeep Singh, and Axar Patel the Green’s spine seems to be broken.
Bumrah also earned back to back ‘Man Of Match Award’ for his groundbreaking playing.
The Indians proved once again that we have the ability to turn zero into a hundred percent.
India will face the USA on 12th June. The USA also beat Pakistan in their last match. It will be incredible to see the two amazing teams face off against each other.
