IND Vs PAK, ICC T20 World Cup 2026: India Hammer Pakistan By 61 Runs To Qualify For Super Eights

India notched up a 61-run victory over Pakistan in ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in Colombo on Sunday (February 15) for another dominant win over the arch-rivals in ICC events. Ishan Kishan made a high-quality 77 off 40 balls on a challenging pitch to take India to 175 for seven. The total proved to be more than enough for Pakistan, who folded for 114 in 18 overs. Both Indian pacers and spinners produced timely wickets to decimate the opposition. Jasprit Bumrah (2/17) and Axar Patel (2/19) were the stand out bowers for India. The win sealed Suryakumar Yadav and Co's progress to Super Eights stage.
