In Match 27 of ICC T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan will need an exceptional batting effort to chase down 176 at the R Premadasa Stadium. With Varun Chakaravarthy, Kuldeep Yadav and Axar Patel in India’s ranks — and even Abhishek Sharma capable of rolling his arm over — the task ahead looks demanding on a surface that has already assisted spin.
India’s innings was built around a superb 77 off 40 balls from Ishan Kishan. India scored 52 in the powerplay, with Kishan contributing 42 of those runs. His aggressive strokeplay ensured India stayed on course for a competitive total, especially as other batters found scoring difficult. Tilak Varma (25) played a supporting role in their 87-run stand.
