India's cricket team showcased a commanding performance against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup at Colombo, with Ishan Kishan leading the batting attack by scoring a 27-ball fifty and making 77 runs, the third-highest score by an Indian in T20Is against Pakistan. India posted a total of 175/7, their highest score in T20 World Cup encounters against Pakistan. Pakistan's batting struggled significantly, collapsing to 78/7 in pursuit of 176, with early wickets falling and the team unable to stabilize the innings. Pakistani fast bowler Shaheen Shah Afridi faced heavy criticism after a costly spell of 2 overs for 31 runs, during which he claimed only one wicket and appeared out of rhythm, leaking boundaries and losing control. Fans mocked Afridi online, calling him 'India’s 12th man' and joking about his performance, which was considered one of his worst outings. Meanwhile, Hardik Pandya made unwanted history by being dismissed for a golden duck for the first time in his T20I career, with three of his four ducks coming against Pakistan, setting a record for most ducks by an Indian against Pakistan in T20Is. Pandya's failure was part of a day where India maintained control, with disciplined bowling and strong batting performances, especially from Kishan. The match highlighted India's dominance in the tournament, while Afridi’s performance and subsequent trolling drew attention to the pressures faced by players during high-stakes matches.
