India (175/7) dominate Pakistan (114) with a commanding 61-run victory in an anti-climactic T20 World Cup 2026 clash

[globetrotter]

Shaheen Afridi is big hitter
And Faheem played winner inni g against Netherlands..... foliage crossed

 

[castortroy]

India are virtually unbeatable in sub continent conditions.

Imagine is India played in pak. They would break all sorts of batting record

 

[Raja Ishtiaq]

Can't wait to see the back of Hesson.

 

[Sachin fan]

On this batting surface India's score is equivalent to 230+ bowling flopped miserably today

Should have batted first bro, that toss decision was baffling

 

[10sion]

At the 6 over mark, 11 over mark, 16 over mark, then break and then getting up after every wicket, I was here with my brother in law and sister, they each left after a wikut, saw them off till the exit. Now I am more concerned of having dinner, restaurant will be closed at the hotel, so better fill up.

PCT is not worth your sacrifice bro....

 

[heddie19]

Okay, now it's his position that's the problem.

Thank you.

One day it will be his lipstick or underwear like Akmal.

and what about position of the captain in the team? of Saim as an opener in the team? Irony is you don't speak about parchi captain but keep speaking about Babar as if he is your behnoi and not performing upto the mark.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

15 an over incoming

Perfomance of Naqvi

4 straight losses to India as PCB chief

2 Suicide Attacks in our capital as Interior Minister

@emranabbas @Major will find a way to even defend this

I just saw a video released by BLA that shows 7 captured soldiers and the interior minister is watching a match in Colombo where his presence or absence literally means nothing.

You need a fulltime PCB head who has just one job to focus on cricket.

And it's not 4 consecutive losses, it's 5 because we also got thrashed in US.

That said, the team isn't bad. They are just putting a bit too much pressure on this team which is helping them fail. None of them are players who perform better under pressure but that's been the case since last two decades.

 

[deltexas]

What a boring one sided game.. Wish Pak was better and smarter. Just dumb brainless batting by them. Lost it in the first 2 overs of the chase itself

 

[10sion]

Can't wait to see the back of Hesson.

Its not about Hesson. It will happen again and again.

As Sehwag says baap baap hota hai, beta hesSON hota hai

 

[amvbfm]

What kind of math is this?? Both Pak and USA have 4 points each.. pakistan just need to neat Namibia to qualify for Super 8..Run rate does not matter at this point..it will only come into place of they will lose next match too.

Dont you think thats a possibility with us?

 

[G0rmintAunty]

That's what you get in Indo Pak games

They're good sports about it, nothing hostile, I keep reminding them of when they left in the CT17.

 

[nish_mate]

SSAcruns quicker between the wickets compared to his run up

Gosht khilaao isko thoda

 

[JaDed]

Hmm .. should be interesting last 5 overs.. Bumrah vs Ssa Faheem

 

[Savak]

India playing eleven and bench is just way too superior to Pakistan. Our head to head record will get wiped out eventually. We have been very lucky with no bilateral cricket, they would have been far ahead

 

[heddie19]

More delusional commentator in the world than Ramiz?

More delusional coach than Hesson in the world? or more delusional captain than Salman?

 

[Bhaijaan]

Required rate 14.5 from last 6 overs.

Hit 1 six, 1 four, run four singles.
If you do that, you win.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Should have batted first bro, that toss decision was baffling

I think they lost all 3 games by batting first in Asia cup. Probably that played a role

 

[t_kaay]

Have the players and team management forgotten that they need to keep the net run rate in mind?

NRR won't come into it. They will have enough points after beating Namibia. If they can't beat them, then they don't deserve to progress anyway.

 

[rickroll]

It all starts from grass roots cricket ie getting good quality coaches, improving infrastructure, pitches and giving the coaches targets, holding them accountable. If all this is done right, only then you can ask them how many quality cricketers they have produced 5 plus years down the line.

What is the point of us having good coaches when the PCB layer above are bad cockroaches?

 

[Ball Blazer]

so our highest p'shp remains 39 (35) while theirs were 87 (46) bw Tilak and Ishan

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

Should have batted first bro, that toss decision was baffling

Literally one of the toughest grounds in the world to chase under lights

 

[ravisurya]

ICC requested PCB to lose this game badly to make up for Bangladeshs absence. Pakistan agreed for the greater good of the game and to show BCCI it's place.

 

[JaDed]

Weird how SSA has become a batsman and Saim a bowler, eventually I’m hoping we can figure him out..

 

[Human786]

Required rate 14.5 from last 6 overs.

Hit 1 six, 1 four, run four singles.
If you do that, you win.

You are a genius BJ

 

[10sion]

Probably one of the worst if not the worst game of this world cup so far...

 

[topspin]

Didn't know you had a crystal ball and could see the future. And if you had been paying attention (which doesn't seem like a trait that you possess) you would have known that I was happy with Usmans selection for the World Cup

You can try and deflect attention all you want but I'm onto the likes of you and @Rana

This is basically the squad you guys wanted and now since we are failing (again!) you think you can shift focus by talking about players who haven't even been selected

It's not gonna work but nice try lol

You saw Babar score his runs at less than run a ball and how he's struggled to bat at a good tempo in the Big Bash. Rizwan isn't any better, if anything he's worse.

It's not about having a crystal ball, it's about having some common sense. Unfortunately, that’s something Misbah fans like you seem to lack, otherwise you wouldn’t be coming out with lines like "we need Misbah back yaar."

 

[Deewana Mastana]

They're good sports about it, nothing hostile, I keep reminding them of when they left in the CT17.

That's alright then as long as they're staying in their lane

Since BCCI=ICC

Hence ICC events = Home series

So the record makes sense

 

[Rajdeep]

We Shall beat you in Colombo, We shall beat you in Dubai.

We will outscore you in USA, we will defeat you in Manchester.

We shall never surrender.

We will beat you in MCG, we will beat you Ahmedabad and we will beat you anywhere we meet.

Bro, I came for the Kottu roti, surprisingly they did a really noice Pani puri too.

 

[globetrotter]

Can India give follow on?

According to Naqvi , if one suicide Bomb happens , we should take comfort that there are 9 more that did nt happen. thats his real performance. LOL he literally said that on live TV after Imam Bargah attack in ISB

 

[10sion]

Required rate 14.5 from last 6 overs.

No. Pakistan actually will lose by 3 runs if they follow this.

I want it to happen so bad!

 

[aboveandbeyond]

I Gave up Sunday Roast at Nanas to watch this shower of xxite with Dad.

 

[t_kaay]

THIS! I completely agree. Where and how did we fail? Do we need more county cricket? Improve quality of PSL?

Hard to admit, but the IPL grooms the international players for these competitions and Pakistani players miss out on that experience.

 

[RedwoodOriginal]

More delusional coach than Hesson in the world? or more delusional captain than Salman?

I think that line made more sense in your head than it does on the page

 

[Nikhil_cric]

Turned 50% more in the first innings. PAK has the easier conditions to bat I suppose.

It is always a relieft when we beat Pakistan rather than overwhelming joy

 

[JaDed]

I remember a posters once said until Nawaz S is the PM PCT will never beat India in a major game they won ICC CT 2017.. I know you are being sarcastic but letting you know many folks can take it seriously

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Honestly after all the build up, it finally felt like a Indo Pak thriller was on cards but Pakistan fooled everyone with doctored pitches in Aus series.

This team is talentless and is being led by a clueless skipper and a coach who doesn’t really have much idea either.

 

[G0rmintAunty]

That's alright then as long as they're staying in their lane

Its mostly corporate and educated folk, its all in good fun.

 

[DeadlyVenom]

Should have batted first bro, that toss decision was baffling

Yeah thought so at the time.

Likely end result would have been the same though so can't dwell on it too much.

There is too big a gap in quality that a toss decision is not enough to influence this contest.

 

[zahid01]

Playing non performing players is a joke rest of the tournament drop afridi babar usman khan we have no choice on agha he's a captain shambolic performance

 

[Deewana Mastana]

How long before Shaheen spoons one up in the night sky....nearly did it

 

[jnaveen1980]

Every thing went in their favor. If Pakistan had battd first they would have struggled

 

[Human786]

Tilak Verma bowling !!!

 

[heddie19]

I think that line made more sense in your head than it does on the page

Why don't you try to make some sense too?

 

[JaDed]

Second over for Tilak lol insane

 

[JattMaula]

How is Saim hyped so much to compare with saed Anwar . I’m sure he is on brink of becoming next Babar .

He is very very good spinner though. Can keep his place as bowler alone.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Tilak drops one himself was looking to apply a tilak way too early

 

[10sion]

How is Saim hyped so much to compare with saed Anwar . I’m sure he is on brink of becoming next Babar .

Come on.... babar cannot bowl.

 

[Savak]

This was a max 140 wicket. Pakistan conceded 35-40 runs too many.

 

[Red-Indian]

Ha... Hardik's getting his exercise session in early

 

[Devadwal]

Dropped

 

[Deewana Mastana]

Its mostly corporate and educated folk, its all in good fun.

That's what I like to hear my bwoy

 

[Asif321]

Then he should bat at 5 isn’t it

Two drops by Tilak today , getting cocky i guess

 

[globetrotter]

It was suryas catch

 

[Bhaijaan]

Tilak just dropped Afridi.

 

[Bhaag Viru Bhaag]

Tilak is such a handy cricketer to have in the line up. Can bat, ball and field.

 

[Devadwal]

Second over for Tilak lol insane

Could have got two wickets lol

 

[10sion]

Tilak dropped the world cup?

 

[Champ_Pal]

Tilak bro having a bad day.

 

[Asif321]

Make Nawaz and Shadab your golden boys . You deserve this

 

[Kroll]

Need to clear out these garbage Babars, Shadab, Nawaz, Shaheen types and make a proper cricket team that can at least compete.

 

[Deewana Mastana]

17 an over

 

[Mesozoic]

India doing everything to make Pakistan cross 100.

Such a kind generous nation.

 

[globetrotter]

Can pakistan make a U-turn and pretend this match hasn't happened.

Lets just walk out of the ground...what can ICC/BCCI do?

They will be punished by ICC and no revenue for 2 years

 

[G0rmintAunty]

Blame your team, not them

You don't seem like the corporate box type bro.

 

[jnaveen1980]

Kishan's knock is by far the best innings of the tournament given that everyone else struggled.

 

[10sion]

Pakistan must target hitting 1 six and pinching 5 singles every over from here .

If they do that they win

Your Math isnt mathing

 

[Human786]

97/8

 

[Cricfan4eva]

Two drops by Tilak today , getting cocky i guess

You probably haven’t seen the drops.

One was not even a half chance and this one his problem was he called it but it wasn’t his, was never going to catch it.
