IND vs PAK Highlights T20 World Cup 2026: Pakistan Collapse Under Pressure in Colombo

India delivered a statement performance in Colombo as a blistering knock from Ishan Kishan powered them past Pakistan and into the Super Eights. On a slow, gripping surface at R Premadasa Stadium, India’s aggressive intent made the difference in a high pressure clash.

Kishan’s fearless 77 off 40 balls stood out on a pitch where stroke making was far from easy. Pakistan relied heavily on spin, sending down 18 overs of it, but the left hander countered smartly and lifted India to a total that proved well above par.

IND vs PAK Highlights T20 World Cup 2026 Overview

India posted 175 for 7 after being put in to bat, with Kishan dominating the powerplay and setting the tempo early. While the pitch offered turn and variable bounce, his clean striking ensured the scoreboard kept moving. The rest of the batting line up found scoring tougher, underlining just how valuable the innings was.

Pakistan’s chase never truly gathered momentum. Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah struck inside the first two overs to dent the top order, and regular wickets followed. Usman Khan fought with a determined 44, but disciplined spells from Axar Patel and Varun Chakravarthy squeezed the middle overs. Pakistan were eventually bowled out for 114, handing India a commanding 61 run win.
