    However, Jasprit Bumrah's economical spell, conceding just four runs in his crucial third over, swung momentum back in India's favor. Hardik Pandya played a pivotal role by dismissing Klaasen and holding nerve in the final over, where he also claimed the wicket of David Miller with a stunning catch by Suryakumar Yadav. Pandya successfully defended 15 runs in the last five balls, ensuring India's victory in a tense finish.
