Ishan Kishan’s Blazing 77 Powers India to 61-Run Win Over Pakistan, Seals Super Eights Spot
On a tacky, spin-friendly pitch at the R. Premadasa Stadium, Ishan Kishan rose above conditions to continue his purple patch and smash a sensational 77 off 40 balls to set up India’s 61-run win over Pakistan in the Men’s T20 World Cup Group A clash in Colombo and seal their place in the Super Eights stage.
Kishan’s knock, laced with 10 fours and three sixes, proved to be decisive in a contest in which18 of the 20 overs bowled at India were spin. His audacity ensured the defending champions finished with 175/7, a total that looked 30 runs above par. Pakistan’s chase never recovered from the early blows inflicted by Hardik Pandya and Jasprit Bumrah to vindicate the sense that India had already done enough.
