The defending champions India thrashed Pakistan in the crucial Group A fixture in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026 at Colombo on Sunday night (February 15) and qualified for the Super Eight stage.  

India won by 61 runs

After Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha surprisingly chose to field first, Indian opener Ishan Kishan's stormy knock of 77 runs in 40 balls was enough for India to manage a strong total of 175/7 in 20 overs, while the pitch was tricky and spin favoured.  

In reply, Pakistan were losing wickets from the first over and regularly, as they were way away from the chase. While Pakistan were bundled out for only 114 runs in 18 overs, India won the match by 61 runs – the largest winning margin between India and Pakistan in T20I history.

Petition to @cricketworldcup to move all future Pakistan vs India World Cup & tournament fixtures to Saturdays. Pakistanis would get a day to grieve & cope with the post match trauma and Indians would get a day to celebrate their win, before Mondays. Win-win situation! #PAKvIND

🇮🇳 “Just keep it simple. Watch the ball. Hit the gaps. Trust your strength.”

Ishan Kishan after IND vs PAK — calm mindset, smart cricket, big match temperament.
Focused on singles, playing to the field, and building a winning total when it mattered most.

This is India vs Pakistan is a no contest. I feel hilariously bad for @daniel86cricket every year he gets his hopes up. And stops tweeting half way through the match because it is over. And this time it happened in Sri Lanka too. Hilarious.

Boycott was well and truly a better option than getting humiliated in Colombo. pic.twitter.com/Dge0tOaorp

Putting Babar Azam in the same sentence as Virat Kohli should be illegal. One dominates his rivals in almost every game, while the other delivers a disaster class in every game. I have never seen him perform even once against us.

Pakistan won nothing against india still thier player are full of arrogance and no game spirit wheras indian team winning every match by they are humble and no provoking celebration

This is a lesson the world has much to learn from India. #INDvsPAK pic.twitter.com/hVwBE21oQg
