MS Dhoni's cunning
India and Pakistan played their first Twenty20 encounter in Durban in 2007. Ball-out was used to determine the winner of this match, which ended in a tie. This is comparable to the cricket penalty shoot-out in football. Pakistan chose to bowl first in this match and held India to a total of 141/9. Pakistan responded by managing to tie the score in some way. MS Dhoni was the team captain at the time. He used non-specialist bowlers to get the opponent team to believe he was a ball-out. Harbhajan Singh, Robin Uthappa, and Virender Sehwag were all out of the game. Shahid Afridi, Umar Gul, and Yasir Arafat—three of Pakistan's best fast bowlers—missed.
Misbah-ul-Haq's grave error
Ten days after their confrontation in the first T20 World Cup 2007 group stage, India and Pakistan faced off again in the Johannesburg final. This was the only time these two teams faced off in the championship game. Pakistan was losing wickets often as they attempted to chase a winning target of 158 runs. However, Misbah-ul-Haq's methodical batting helped the squad go closer to the goal.
The final over required 13 runs from Pakistan. Next, Dhoni gave Joginder Sharma the ball. After a dot ball and a wide, Misbah blasted a six. Pakistan now required six runs in four balls. He executed a scoop shot that soared high into the sky. With a catch at short fine leg by S Sreesanth, India won the World Cup.
The attack on Shaheen Afridi in Dubai
India got off to a fast start in their 2021 T20 World Cup group encounter in Dubai. However, India's start was ruined by Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi. The left-arm bowler rocked the Indian top order by dismissing opener Rohit Sharma for zero with the first ball. Under his spell, he formed the numbers 3-31. Even though Virat Kohli scored 57 runs in an attempt to salvage the innings, he was too dismissed by Afridi in the final over. Babar Azam, the captain, scored 68 and Mohammed Rizwan scored 79. By ten wickets, Pakistan prevailed. They had never defeated India in a World Cup.
Kohli King's scolding at MCG
The two teams' most recent group stage match at the T20 World Cup 2022 took place in front of 90,000 fans at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. With a score of 159/8, Pakistan was ahead of India (31-4). During that period, Virat Kohli amassed an undefeated 82 runs in 53 balls and formed an important 113-run partnership with Hardik Pandya. India needed to score 31 runs in the final 12 balls, but in the 19th over, Kohli struck two sixes off fast bowler Haris Rauf, and India won by four wickets on the final ball. Kohli's innings is still remembered.
