KARACHI: Pakistan cricket fans were left disappointed after India thumped their arch-rivals by 61 runs in their Group A fixture of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 on Sunday.
Ishan Kishan’s breakneck 77 powered India to 175-7 at the R Premadasa Stadium where Pakistan’s spin-heavy attack managed to apply the brakes to an extent after the opener’s exit.
The tournament co-hosts returned to bundle out Pakistan for 114 in 18 overs to register their third win in a row.
“The heartbeat of our fans has gone up, not down,” Iqra Awan said. “As always, Pakistan is losing the match again today. All the fans are sad. I am also sad that Pakistan has lost the match.”
Humna Nisar, a 23-year-old student, echoed the same sentiments.
