India crushed Pakistan by 61 runs in the 2026 T20 World Cup at R Premadasa Stadium, Colombo. It is India’s biggest win over Pakistan in the history of the T20 World Cup.
With this resounding victory, India also confirmed its place in the Super Eight stage. The team looked sharp with both the bat and the ball on a tricky pitch.
Ishan Kishan was the star with the bat. He scored 77 off just 40 balls, hitting 10 fours and 3 sixes to keep the innings together.
India lost Abhishek Sharma early after Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha took him out. But Kishan and Tilak Varma added 87 runs and leveled things up.
Tilak played smart cricket and turned the strike well. Kishan attacked the loose balls and kept the scoreboard moving.
In the final overs, Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube played quick cameos. Their late hits helped India reach a strong total of 175 for 7.
Pakistan’s pursuit never really got going. Hardik Pandya struck in the very first over to remove Sahibzada Farhan.
Jasprit Bumrah then took control. He bowled a perfect yorker to dismiss Saim Ayub and followed it with a sharp ball from behind to send Agha back.
Pakistan were suddenly 13 for 3 and under enormous pressure. The Indian bowlers did not let them breathe.
Axar Patel and Kuldeep Yadav bowled clean lines in the middle overs. Pakistan crawled to 38 for 4 in the Powerplay and continued to lose wickets at regular intervals.
There was no real partnership from Pakistan. The required run rate continued to rise and the batters seemed stuck on the slow surface.
Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 114. The Indian players celebrated loudly as the Colombo crowd enjoyed every moment.
This win once again showed India’s dominance over Pakistan in the T20 World Cups. It was a complete team effort and a big statement before the Super Eight stage.
