Colombo:India continued to dominate their bitter rivals in the T20 World Cup by defeating Pakistan once more. The men in blue also advanced to the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2026, highlighting the gap between the two cricket teams with the 61-run victory. In the meantime, Pakistan's match against Namibia, which is set for February 18, is now a must-win.
Ishan Kishan proved to be the difference between the two teams in the match. In the first half of India's innings, he hammered 77 runs off 40 deliveries, and even the Indian hitters later suffered greatly. With players like Saim Ayub and Usman Tariq controlling the action, India somehow scored 175 runs despite facing 18 overs of spin.
However, Pakistan lost to India for the eighth time in the history of the T20 World Cup, proving that the target was too great. Their only triumph over India is still their 10-wicket victory in the 2021 T20 World Cup.
Memes abound as Pakistan falls apartAs soon as the Pakistani cricket team began to lose wickets while attempting to reach the 176-run target, internet users were all over it. By the end of the powerplay, the game was a no-contest since they were completely outmatched by the Indian team. Usman Khan was the only batter who appeared to belong; the others merely cared to enter the crease and exit like strollers at Marine Drive.
Even though Pakistan produced a lot of drama prior to the big match, the men in green ultimately failed miserably. With the type of matches that are taking place between India and Pakistan, there doesn't appear to be any rivalry anymore.
