India Beats Pakistan Again In T20 WC!

India has been one of the most dominating teams in the T20 format in the recent years, and this was on brilliant display again in the game against Pakistan in the ongoing T20 World Cup.

In a high-profile ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 clash at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, India defeated Pakistan by a convincing margin in one of cricket’s fiercest rivalries.

India posted 175 for 7 in their 20 overs, propelled by a blazing 77 from Ishan Kishan and significant contributions from Suryakumar Yadav, Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh, setting a target of 176 runs. Pakistan’s chase never got going as they were restricted to 114 all out, giving India a 61-run victory.

The Indian bowlers dominated the second innings, with Hardik Pandya and Varun Chakravarthy among the key wicket-takers, applying relentless pressure on Pakistan’s batters. Usman Khan’s 44 was the lone resistance in a struggling chase.

Off the field, the match carried extra weight due to strained relations and symbolic moments, including the absence of a pre-match handshake between the captains, reflecting wider tensions.

This result extends India’s dominant head-to-head record against Pakistan in T20 World Cups and boosts their position in the group stage, thrilling cricket fans who regard this fixture as one of the sport’s biggest spectacles.
