By Samira Vishwas

New Delhi : Whenever the teams of India and Pakistan face each other on the huge cricket field, the excitement is at its peak. In this high-voltage match of T20 World Cup 2026, Team India once again proved its supremacy. Defeating arch-rival Pakistan by a huge margin of 61 runs, India not only won but also entered the Super-8 round with pride. This resounding victory has given Indian fans around the world a great opportunity to celebrate.

Ishan Kishan’s stormy attack

Let us tell you that the Indian team, which came to bat first after losing the toss, had a very challenging start. Opener Abhishek Sharma was out in the very first over without opening the account. However, after this young Ishan Kishan took charge. Ishaan played an explosive inning of 77 runs in just 40 balls, defeating the Pakistani bowlers. His innings brought India out of trouble and laid the foundation of a huge score. His partnership of 87 runs with Tilak Verma was the turning point of the match.

The middle order batsmen carried the innings forward very well.

After the dismissal of Ishan Kishan, the middle order batsmen carried the innings forward very well. Suryakumar Yadav scored a quick 32 runs, while Shivam Dubey made an important contribution of 27 runs and Tilak Verma made 25 runs. Thanks to these short but effective innings, India scored 175 runs after losing 7 wickets. This is India’s biggest score against Pakistan in the history of T20 World Cup, which created psychological pressure on the opposition team at the very beginning of the game.

Pak batting collapsing like a deck of cards

Pakistan’s start to chase the target of 176 runs was very disappointing. Sahibzada Farhan already returned to the pavilion on zero and the team came under pressure. Captain Babar Azam also could not stay at the crease for long and was out after scoring only 5 runs. Pakistan’s four main batsmen had returned to the pavilion with a total score of just 34 runs. Usman Khan definitely put up some fight by playing a fighting inning of 44 runs, but he did not get any support from the other end.

Deadly bowling by Indian bowlers

From the very beginning, Indian bowlers did not give any opportunity to Pakistani batsmen to open their hands. Pakistani batting looked completely helpless in front of the sharp bowling of Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya. In the spin department, Varun Chakraborty and Akshar Patel spread the magic of their spin and curbed the run rate. These four leading bowlers divided two wickets among themselves and restricted Pakistan to just 114 runs in 18 overs. Accurate bowling and tight fielding ensured India’s victory.

India’s unwavering dominance in the World Cup

With this historic victory, India has made its record even better against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup. In the 9 matches held so far, India has tasted victory 8 times, whereas Pakistan has been able to win only once. This figure shows that the mental balance and skill of the Indian team is the best in big matches. After this explosive performance, Team India is now ready for the journey ahead in Super-8 with new energy and confidence.
