India vs Pakistan Today — Match Overview & Key Highlights
India vs Pakistan Today at the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 delivered everything fans prayed for — drama, power-hitting, and a crushing Indian victory. Played on February 15, 2026 at Colombo’s R. Premadasa Stadium, India beat Pakistan by 61 runs, completing a perfect Group A campaign and booking their Super 8 berth.

India vs Pakistan Today — India’s Innings: Ishan Kishan’s Masterclass
Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl on a slow, gripping Colombo surface. India lost Abhishek Sharma for a duck off the very first over. But Ishan Kishan walked in and launched a breathtaking counter-attack — six over long-on off Shaheen Shah Afridi in the third over announced his arrival.
Kishan dominated an 87-run partnership for the 2nd wicket with Tilak Varma, personally scoring 76 of those runs. His fifty came in just 27 balls — the fastest T20 World Cup fifty by an Indian wicket-keeper ever. He was finally dismissed for 77 off 40 balls (10 fours, 3 sixes), caught and bowled by Saim Ayub.
