My honest opinion as a neutral fan watching this match:
India’s innings
Pakistan bowlers really bowled well but their fielding was below average. Pant got so many lives and ended up scoring 40+. Not to take anything away from Pant, its not easy to score these runs with good SR, he made full use of his chances. That Pant-Axar partnership was crucial. However they couldn’t create another one after that. 120 is a good target in NY pitches. I think the runs Arshdeep and Siraj added in the end were somehow valuable jaise bhi ho.
Pakistan’s Innings
They started the chase well actually. But I still feel Rizwan played a bit too slow despite the surface cause they still had wickets.At least he or someone could have tried to counterattack at times.
Bumrah as always brilliant and magical. He actually had a huge role in this win. India’s fielding was top class too apart from Dube’s dropped catch (idk what’s he doing)
Pakistan’s middle order completely messed up what was really weird is that in the last 3-4 overs their batters didnt even try to hit a boundary or six. No intent at all WTH. Only person that actually tried was Naseem that too a bowler!
If I was an Indian fan it would have been one of my fav matches. But as a neutral this match is just sooo weird hahah. How can a team screw up 47 off 47 with 7 wickets in hand, and its not like they bottled up they didnt even try!
