India vs Pakistan, 27th Match, Group A, ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 - Player Highlights

Axar Patel to Mohammad Nawaz, no run, flatter delivery on the off stump, Nawaz defends

Axar Patel to Mohammad Nawaz, no run, beaten! Plays inside the line of this flatter delivery and misses as he looks to defend

Axar Patel to Usman Khan, out Stumped!! He was itching to attack Axar Patel and the bowler had a close eye on the batter as to what the trigger movement was. Usman left the crease a tad bit early. Axar fired this short and got some bounce on it to take it past Usman's aggressive slap. Ishan Kishan had to get his hands high to collect and he had enough time to ignite the stumps as Usman was a logn way out. So the lone Pakistan batter who looked like he could do something is gone. SKY gives Axar Patel a warm hug. In fact the UltraEdge replay shows a spike when the ball passed the bat so Usman edged that as well. Usman Khan st Ishan Kishan b Axar Patel 44(34) [4s-6 6s-1]

Axar Patel to Usman Khan, FOUR, in the airrrr, just got a hand on it. Will go down as a chance. Tilak was very wide at long-off. Usman stepped out and mistimed the loft. Had Tilak been finer he would have taken this catch. He ran to the right, stretched full length but couldn't close his hands in time

Axar Patel to Babar Azam, out Bowled!! There is a competition in the Pakistan dressing room between Salman Agha and Babar Azam for who played the worst shot of the night? If you thought Salman got out to a soft dismissal, Babar Azam has played an uncharacteristic slog and made a mess of his own stumps. Axar Patel has his arms aloft as he sees the middle stump disturbed. Pakistan are mentally just not in the contest at all. Flatter trajectory from Axar Patel that he bowls so well and cuts all room for the RHB. Babar tries to slog across the line and had no clue. Babar Azam b Axar Patel 5(7)

Axar Patel to Usman Khan, 1 run, flatter delivery, knocked to mid-wicket
