NEW DELHI: The 2022 T20 World Cup clash between India and Pakistan was one of the most thrilling encounters in cricket history. Fans were on the edge of their seats—some with hands clasped, others biting their nails, and many drenched in sweat—as they witnessed the high-octane drama unfold at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground.
Fifties from Shan Masood and Iftikhar Ahmed helped Pakistan recover from a shaky start, setting India a target of 160. With India reeling at 31/4, courtesy of a fiery spell from Haris Rauf, it seemed Pakistan was on course for back-to-back victories over their arch-rivals.
