India vs Pakistan highlights, T20 World Cup 2026: India crush Pakistan by 61 runs, secure Super 8 spot
India vs Pakistan highlights, T20 World Cup 2026: India produced a dominant performance to rout arch-rivals Pakistan by 61 runs in a high-voltage Group A clash of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday, booking their place in the Super 8 stage.
Chasing 176, Pakistan never got going as India’s bowlers ran through their top and middle order. Earlier, Ishan Kishan set the tone with a breathtaking 77 off 40 balls, including 10 fours and three sixes, giving India a flying start. Kishan shared an 87-run partnership with Tilak Varma, who contributed 25 off 24 balls, while skipper Suryakumar Yadav added a steady 32 to help India reach 175-7. Shivam Dube (27 off 17) and Rinku Singh (11*) provided the late flourish, ensuring a competitive total despite early wickets.
Pakistan’s chase began in turmoil. Hardik Pandya struck early, removing Sahibzada Farhan for a duck in the first over. Jasprit Bumrah then wreaked havoc, dismissing Saim Ayub and Pakistan skipper Salman Agha in his opening spell. The early breakthroughs left Pakistan reeling at 13/3.
Usman Khan tried to rebuild, top-scoring with 44 and putting together partnerships of 21 with Babar Azam and 39 with Shadab Khan. However, the Indian attack was relentless. Axar Patel dismissed both Azam and Khan, Kuldeep Yadav trapped Mohammad Nawaz, and Tilak Varma got Shadab Khan. Varun Chakaravarthy cleaned up the tail, ensuring Pakistan were bowled out for 114 in 18 overs.
Hardik Pandya ended with figures of 2/16, Bumrah took 2/17, Axar claimed 2/29, and Varun Chakaravarthy chipped in with 2/17 as Pakistan struggled against a disciplined Indian attack.
The result marked a comprehensive victory for India, who dominated with both bat and ball. Kishan’s power-packed innings on a tricky pitch, combined with clinical bowling from Bumrah, Pandya, Axar, Kuldeep, and Varun, left Pakistan on the mat throughout.
India now top Group A and move into the Super 8 stage with confidence, while Pakistan face a crucial fight to keep their campaign alive in the tournament.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup Live Score: 'I think this is for India' - SKY
I think this is for India. We played the same brand of cricket what we wanted to play. Batting first was better option on this wicket. Ishan thought something out of the box.
After 0/1, someone had to take responsibility and the way he took it was amazing. It's difficult to say when you're batting first. Because you never know if there will be dew or how the pitch will play under lights. But we felt it was 15 above par. 155 could've been a tight game.
It was great to see everyone contributing with the ball. We'll go back, have a good time together as a team and then think about the other games when we take the flight to Ahmedabad.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup Live Score: 'Our spinners had an off day' - Salman Agha
Our spinners had an off day. Execution was missing in some parts. We believe in our spinners, they've done well in last six months. We lost too many wickets in the powerplay with the bat. In the first innings it was tacky, the ball was gripping as well. The execution was missing with the ball.
Pitch played better in the second innings than it did in the first. In these kind of games, the emotions are always going to be high. Have to deal with it.
Have played enough games like that. Have a game in two days time, have to look forward to that. Need to win that game and qualify for the Super Eights. Then it's a new tournament again.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup Live Score: India are in Super 8
India put on a dominant show against their arch-rivals Pakistan, routing them by 61 runs in a high-stakes Group A clash of the T20 World Cup 2026 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The win not only boosted India’s confidence but also secured their place in the Super 8 stage.
Electing to bat first, India were given a flying start by opener Ishan Kishan, who unleashed a masterclass of power-hitting. Kishan blazed 77 off just 40 balls, laced with 10 fours and three sixes, effortlessly negotiating the tricky Colombo surface. His explosive innings laid the platform for India, while Tilak Varma (25 off 24) and skipper Suryakumar Yadav (32 off 29) ensured the momentum was maintained in the middle overs. Shivam Dube’s quickfire 27 and late contributions from Rinku Singh helped India post a competitive 175-7 in 20 overs.
Chasing a challenging 176, Pakistan’s innings crumbled from the outset. Hardik Pandya struck early, removing Sahibzada Farhan in the first over. Jasprit Bumrah returned to wreak havoc, sending back Saim Ayub and captain Salman Agha in his opening spell. Pakistan’s middle order, which relied on Usman Khan, failed to build partnerships as Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Tilak Varma combined to clean up the tail.
Usman Khan stood tall with a valiant 44 off 34 balls, stitching brief partnerships with Babar Azam and Shadab Khan, but it was never enough. Pakistan were bowled out for 114 in 18 overs, leaving India winners by a comprehensive 61 runs.
India’s bowlers delivered with clinical precision. Hardik Pandya claimed 2-16, Jasprit Bumrah 2-17, Axar Patel 2-29, Varun Chakaravarthy 2-17, Kuldeep Yadav 1-14, and Tilak Varma 1-11. Saim Ayub’s early spell of 3-25 was Pakistan’s only resistance.
The Powerplay belonged to India, and the batsmen capitalized brilliantly. Kishan’s record-breaking strike rate, combined with sensible partnerships in the middle, ensured India set a target that Pakistan struggled to chase. With this emphatic win, India not only asserted dominance over Pakistan once again but also cemented their position in the next round of the tournament, leaving the co-hosts and fans in high spirits.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup Live Score: Ishan Kishan is the Player of the Match
I think the wicket was not that easy in the beginning, but sometimes you just have to believe what you want to play, what shots are on, and you have to just focus on your strength.
So I was just keeping it simple and watching the ball and playing with the field, maybe trying to make them run as much as they can, but yeah, I think it worked pretty well on my side. I think I did work a lot on my offside game and it will give me the balls where I want them to bowl, if I play good shots on offside.
So I was just trying to hit the gaps because it's a big boundary and when it's a big ground, you get a bigger gap. So I was just trying to keep it simple, like I said, trying to hit the gaps, trying to at least take two runs because the wicket was not easy. I had that in mind that we need to put a total like 160-170 runs and it will be a very good total for us. 100 percent.
India v Pakistan is always a special game not only for us but for our country as well. So we had to win this one because it was a very important game and they had pretty good spinners in their side and we were just supposed to play the good shots and yeah, winning this against Pakistan team, it will give us a lot of confidence going ahead in the tournament and we'll try to just keep the momentum going.
(On the start Hardik-Bumrah gave) I think they bowled tremendously well. Pace bowlers... when I was batting and Shaheen was bowling, I didn't feel like the ball was doing much for the pace bowlers. But at the same time, looking at them (India's new ball bowlers) bowl two beautiful overs. So yeah, it was a plus point for us, especially we know how Jasprit Bumrah can bowl, whether he has new ball in his hand and whether he's bowling in the death. Credit goes to Hardik Pandya for keeping it on the tight areas, bowling what we planned before the game and executing his plans pretty well.

DRINKS!
What a commanding performance from India so far. They have completely put Pakistan on the mat with a fiery start in the field. From the very first over, Pakistan looked rattled and unsure, unable to settle against the relentless accuracy and aggression of the Indian bowlers.
At 38 for 4 after six overs, Pakistan are in deep trouble. The Powerplay has been dominated by India in every sense — tight lines, sharp movement, and smart field placements have kept the pressure constant. There has been no room to free the arms, no easy singles, and certainly no momentum.
India’s intensity has been evident in every delivery, while Pakistan have appeared reactive rather than proactive. The early wickets have tilted the contest heavily, leaving Pakistan with a mountain to climb. The question now is whether they can regroup — or if India have already tightened their grip beyond recovery.

Salman planted his front leg across the line and attempted an ambitious flick over mid-wicket. But he was in no real position to play that shot. The ball climbed slightly and took the leading edge of his bat, ballooning into the air.
Hardik Pandya, stationed at mid-on, moved a few steps back and completed a simple catch. It was a soft dismissal at a crucial stage.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup Live Score: WICKET! Pandya gone!
WICKET! A big wicket for Pakistan. Pin drop silence in the stadium. Saim Ayub strikes again, and this time it’s Hardik Pandya who departs for a first-ball duck. The all-rounder tried to take on the spinner straightaway, a tactic he has often used to put pressure back on the bowler. With India in a strong position, Hardik looked to go big from the outset.
Ayub, however, outfoxed him with a well-disguised carrom ball. Pandya went through with the shot but failed to get the timing right. The ball went high into the air, prompting a moment of anticipation — but it didn’t have the distance.
Babar Azam settled under it calmly and completed the catch, giving Pakistan a timely breakthrough. Hardik Pandya isn't happy with this.

IND vs PAK T20 World Cup Live Score: DRINKS!
DRINKS BREAK:
The contest is finely balanced at the moment. India are 73/1 after the Powerplay, but Pakistan have done well to pull things back since the early surge. The bowlers have tightened their lines and lengths, not allowing Suryakumar Yadav and Tilak Varma the freedom to play their expansive strokes.
That said, the Indian pair have handled this middle phase smartly. Instead of forcing big shots, they have focused on rotating the strike and finding gaps. Singles and twos have continued to flow, ensuring the scoreboard keeps moving without taking unnecessary risks. It’s a calm and calculated approach from the duo, setting up a platform for a possible late acceleration.

Electing to bat first, India were given a flying start by opener Ishan Kishan, who unleashed a masterclass of power-hitting. Kishan blazed 77 off just 40 balls, laced with 10 fours and three sixes, effortlessly negotiating the tricky Colombo surface. His explosive innings laid the platform for India, while Tilak Varma (25 off 24) and skipper Suryakumar Yadav (32 off 29) ensured the momentum was maintained in the middle overs. Shivam Dube’s quickfire 27 and late contributions from Rinku Singh helped India post a competitive 175-7 in 20 overs.
Chasing a challenging 176, Pakistan’s innings crumbled from the outset. Hardik Pandya struck early, removing Sahibzada Farhan in the first over. Jasprit Bumrah returned to wreak havoc, sending back Saim Ayub and captain Salman Agha in his opening spell. Pakistan’s middle order, which relied on Usman Khan, failed to build partnerships as Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, and Tilak Varma combined to clean up the tail.
Usman Khan stood tall with a valiant 44 off 34 balls, stitching brief partnerships with Babar Azam and Shadab Khan, but it was never enough. Pakistan were bowled out for 114 in 18 overs, leaving India winners by a comprehensive 61 runs.
India’s bowlers delivered with clinical precision. Hardik Pandya claimed 2-16, Jasprit Bumrah 2-17, Axar Patel 2-29, Varun Chakaravarthy 2-17, Kuldeep Yadav 1-14, and Tilak Varma 1-11. Saim Ayub’s early spell of 3-25 was Pakistan’s only resistance.
The Powerplay belonged to India, and the batsmen capitalized brilliantly. Kishan’s record-breaking strike rate, combined with sensible partnerships in the middle, ensured India set a target that Pakistan struggled to chase. With this emphatic win, India not only asserted dominance over Pakistan once again but also cemented their position in the next round of the tournament, leaving the co-hosts and fans in high spirits.
