Following an intense moment in the T20 World Cup 2024 clash against India Pakistans cricketer Mohammad Amir vented his frustration by forcefully throwing the ball to the ground immediately after securing Suryakumar Yadavs catch. The Nassau County International Cricket Stadium served as the battleground for this crucial game.
Following a delayed start due to bad weather, Babar Azam won the toss and chose to bowl first in cloudy circumstances. The Men in Blue lost Virat Kohli in the second over. Rohit Sharma, who had shown potential, was dismissed in the third over while attempting a huge shot.
Reeling at 19/2, Rishabh Pant and Axar Patel formed an important connection before being removed. Suryakumar Yadav had another poor performance with the bat, stepping back after scoring seven runs off eight deliveries.
The event occurred in the 12th over of the innings when Suryakumar attempted to strike a rising ball. The right-handed hitter couldn’t reach the pitch of the delivery, making it an easy catch for Mohammad Amir. The left-arm pacer became excited after catching the ball and hurled it to the ground in despair.
The wicket reduced India to 89/4 as Pakistan mounted a dramatic recovery in the match.
