In the inteÂnse 2024 T20 World Cup showdown against Pakistan Team Indias allrounder Shivam Dube had a lackluster display. The Nassau County International Stadium in NeÂw York set the stage for this crucial eÂncounter on Sunday June 9th. Struggling to find his footing the leÂfthanded batter appeareÂd out of his element at the crease managing a paltry three runs from nine deliverieÂs before being ousteÂd by Naseem Shah.
Shivam Dube to the crease after Suryakumar Yadav was dismissed in the 13th over. He went up against a feisty Haris Rauf right away and started his innings with three dot balls. Dube was assigned to the unit because of his ability to take on spinners, but he struggled against Imad Wasim’s accuracy. He barely scored a few runs off four deliveries while under pressure.
Shivam Dube attempted to defend a Naseem Shah delivery in the 14th over but ended up lobbing it straight back to the bowler for the easiest of catches. Take a look at the dismissal here.
Shivam Dube is struggling to acclimate to the tournament’s playing conditions. He struggled in the warm-up match against Bangladesh, getting 14 runs off 16 deliveries and hitting only one six.

The Men in Blue had completely lost the narrative during the middle overs. They were comfortably situated at 89-3 and hoped to finish with a respectable total of 150-160. However, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube left in rapid succession. With Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja both out on successive deliveries, India was reduced to 96-7 in the 15th over.
India’s dismal display continued with theÂir dismissal for a mere 119 runs. The Pakistani fast bowleÂrs notably Naseem Shah and Haris Rauf exceÂlled by taking three wickeÂts each while Amir also contributed with two crucial scalps.
