The Indian pace attack on Sunday took all ten wickets in a T20I match for the very first time.

The pacers did this during their blockbuster Asia Cup 2022 campaign opener match against Pakistan.

The Indian pacers were breathing fire throughout the match, and they did not let the Pakistan batsmen  settle at the crease and stitch lengthy partnerships.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar started the party of Indian speedsters by getting the big fish, Babar Azam for just 10 off 9 balls during the powerplay. He ended with figures of 4/26, getting wickets of Shadab Khan (10), Asif Ali (9) and Naseem Shah (0) as well.

Hardik Pandya also delivered big time with his pace, taking 3/25. He took the important wickets of Iftikhar Ahmed (28), Mohammed Rizwan (43) and Khusdil Shah (2) which broke the back of Pakistan's middle order.

Avesh Khan dismissed Fakhar Zaman for just 10 off 6 balls after he edged the ball which landed into wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik's gloves. He finished with 1/19 in 2 overs.
