T20 World Cup Daily: 2024, Day 9
T20 World Cup Daily, 2024, Day 9: India v Pakistan
The Big Bertha of cricket matches came around at last, with the Nassau Stadium on Long Island packed to capacity. The pitch was better than other games at this ground, but the contest was no less tight, with every run a struggle for both sides. As it came down to a close finish, the question was whether Pakistan's nerve would hold where it has failed in so many World Cups before.
