India produced one of the most dominant performances in recent India–Pakistan T20 encounters, defeating Pakistan by 82 runs in their Group A match of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 at Eden Gardens, Kolkata on 15 February 2026 (played under lights and concluded early on 16 February IST). The victory was built on a clinical batting display, ruthless bowling in the middle overs, and exceptional fielding — a complete team performance that kept India unbeaten in the group and virtually assured them a top-two finish.
