Opener Ishan Kishan produced a blistering knock of 77 off 40 balls to lead India’s strong recovery against Pakistan, as they reached 92 for 2 after 10 overs in their ICC T20 World Cup clash in Colombo on Sunday.
India were jolted early after hard-hitting Abhishek Sharma was dismissed for a duck in the opening over, but Kishan counterattacked with an aggressive innings that put Pakistan’s bowlers under pressure. The left-hander struck 10 fours and three sixes, dominating the scoring even as the pitch appeared to offer assistance to spinners.

Tilak Varma played the supporting role, scoring a cautious 12 as Kishan took charge. The duo added 87 runs for the second wicket, steadying the innings after the early loss.
Kishan, however, appeared to suffer from cramps and required brief attention from the team physio due to discomfort in his right leg. He continued batting before eventually being bowled by Saim Ayub in the ninth over. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav then walked in and was on three at the end of the 10th over.
Earlier, Abhishek, who missed India’s previous match against Namibia due to a stomach bug, was removed by off-spinner Salman Ali Agha off the final ball of the first over. He was caught at mid-on by Shaheen Shah Afridi, marking his second duck of the tournament after being dismissed for zero against the USA.
Pakistan skipper Salman Agha wins the toss and elects to bowl first. Both skippers after the toss: Salman Agha: We want to bowl first. It looks a bit tacky, so we feel it will assist the bowlers for the first few overs so we want to use that. We are relaxed in our group and excited for this challenge. Bigger ground than SSC and the pitch is slower than SSC. Same team for us. Suryakumar Yadav: Not at all, we were looking to bat first. We won last two games defending so we don't want to change it. It is an occasion, it's a high-stake game. This sport teaches you a lot of things, any side can win the game on a given day. Two changes. Abhishek Sharma comes in and Kuldeep Yadav is in for Arshdeep Singh.
India Playing 11: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan(w), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav(c), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah
Pakistan Playing 11: Saim Ayub, Sahibzada Farhan, Salman Agha(c), Babar Azam, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Khan(w), Shadab Khan, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq
India began the tournament on a strong note, securing a convincing victory over the United States before continuing their winning momentum against Namibia in New Delhi. Led by captain Suryakumar Yadav, the Men in Blue currently sit atop Group A of the points table. A victory against Pakistan would not only maintain their unbeaten run but also virtually seal their place in the Super Eights, boosting team morale ahead of the knockout stages.

Pakistan, meanwhile, have been equally impressive in their campaign so far, remaining undefeated in both of their group-stage matches. They started with a tense, closely contested win over the Netherlands and followed it up with a dominant performance against the USA. The Men in Green, led by Salman Agha, are also eyeing a third successive win to secure their spot in the Super Eights.
With both teams unbeaten and in top form, this India vs Pakistan clash is expected to be a fierce battle, with high stakes and national pride on the line, making it one of the most compelling fixtures of the tournament.
