India showcased their strength against Pakistan, winning by 61 runs in their Group A match at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 held at R. Premadasa International Cricket Stadium, Colombo. This victory not only uplifted team spirits but also secured India’s spot in the Super Eight stage of the tournament.
With an impressive performance led by Suryakumar Yadav, India scored 175 for 7. Ishan Kishan was particularly notable, hitting 77 runs at the start and setting a solid foundation for a competitive total. The bowlers continued the momentum, bowling out Pakistan for just 114 runs in 18 overs.
This outcome further emphasizes India’s strong record against Pakistan in World Cup matches. The defeat for Pakistan marks another disappointment in their competition with India on this stage, where victories have been elusive.
With this win, India has claimed eight out of their nine matches against Pakistan in T20 World Cups. Their dominance extends to One Day Internationals (ODIs) as well, with India winning all eight encounters in ODI World Cups. This latest victory reinforces India’s strong position in this celebrated cricket rivalry.
