Bumrah dismissed Babar Azam early in Pakistan’s chase before Usman Khan and Rizwan attempted to stabilise the game. Axar Patel broke the partnership, dismissing Usman. In his second spell, Bumrah bowled Rizwan causing the Pakistani batting line-up to collapse.

The Babar Azam-led Pakistan was restricted to 113/7 in 20 overs. They will next play against Canada in what’s a must-win game for them to go into the text stage of the 2024 T20 World Cup.
