In a Group A T20 World Cup match on February 15, 2026, India defeated Pakistan by 61 runs at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, securing their place in the Super Eight stage. Ishan Kishan's impressive 77 runs helped India reach a total of 175-7. Pakistan's spin-heavy attack initially slowed India's scoring, but they were ultimately bowled out for 114 in 18 overs. The match proceeded after Pakistan reversed an earlier decision to boycott the game. India's Abhishek Sharma returned to the team after recovering from a stomach infection, though he was quickly dismissed.
