Hardik into Usman Tariq. Bowled in! Middle stump from Hardik. He had one ball to dismiss him, and he used that one ball to perfection. India register a huge win over Pakistan. They win by 61 runs, having bowled out Pakistan for 114 with two overs remaining. A sensational win. India victorious here in Colombo by 61 runs.
So, in the fixture that we wondered whether it would happen at all between India and Pakistan, last-minute diplomatics meant that we did get a game, but it's same old, same old this time of the hour. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Pakistan being thrashed by India, India winning by 61 runs, and at no point in today's game did they ever really look
like coming close to India Pakistan from the very outset brilliant batting from Ishan Kishan the standout player with the bat today and then with the ball well I don't know whether it was the bowling itself that was so particularly skilled or some of the top order batting that was so inept World Cup winner Alex Hartley is alongside me, as is Atif Nawaz.
We are going to chew the cud and try and work out what on earth has happened there. What has happened, first headline, is that India have won three out of three. They're through to the next round, there was never any danger of that. In all probability, Pakistan will be two if they win their last game against Namibia, which they surely will do.
If they don't, however, they will be behind the United States on net run rate. And there's even a tiny sniff of possibility for the Netherlands if they could beat India, but that's not going to happen. So there is something big on that game for Pakistan. And I don't think anyone really considered that to be a dangerous fixture for Pakistan.
But after watching the way they played today, I was hugely disappointed. I was hugely disappointed with how they bowled at Ishan Kishan. They did drag it back in those middle overs with the ball, but then with the bat, how they found themselves 34 for 4, 13 for 3 in double quick time. That did for their chase. Chase, they needed to make it 176.
The highest chase it would have been in a World Cup match, T20 World Cup match between these two men's sides. But nonetheless, it felt like a pretty limp performance.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of India's victory over Pakistan?
And especially, we know how just he can bowl, whether he has new ball in his hand and whether he's bowling in the dead overs. And especially, Craig goes to Hardik Pandya for keeping it on the tight areas, you know, bowling what we planned before the game and executing his plans pretty well. Special day, Ishan. Congratulations, mate, and good luck for the rest of the tournament. Thank you so much.
Thank you.
That was Matthew Hayden talking to the player of the match, Ishan Kishan, and he really did bat better, Alex Hardy, than anybody else on show today. I mean, his numbers are just head and shoulders above everybody else. 77 of 40 balls, 10 fours, three sixes. There are only three further sixes in India's innings.
He managed to keep the strike, farm the strike, and you saw how hard it was for the likes of Tilak Varma, 25 off 24, Surya Kumar Yadav, the skipper, usually explosive, 32 off 29. So it was a tricky pitch, wasn't it? And he made it look easy.
I think it was when Surya Kumar Yadav was struggling. I was like, OK, that's a special innings because he came out and he found the boundary from ball one. Yes, he was eased into his innings because Shaheen Shahafridi didn't bowl too well at him. You know, his first over went for 15 in the power play ball, the second one of the power play.
But he was the only batter who could time the ball on that surface. And I think for him to recognize that or recognize that he was on and just carry on was very impressive.
It started pretty well for Pakistan, by which I mean the first over. When Salman Ali Agha, the skipper, brought himself on to bowl, and we've seen a few different bowling plans from Pakistan. They are a flexible outfit, which should stand them in good stead for other challenges later in the tournament. And he picked up the wicket of Abhishek Sharma really early on to that stage, one for one.
End of the first over. You're thinking game on. Crowd's gone berserk. Atmosphere's amazing. Place is completely packed. And you didn't hear silence because although there's about 80% Indian fans, about 20% Pakistan fans. So they made their presence really felt. But it was in that partnership which dominates Bishan Kishan. 87th. They put on in 7.4 overs, of which Yishan scored 76.
I mean, I don't want to belabor the point, but it was where he said he was talking about accessing the offside. Some of his leg-side sixes were enormous. Did Pakistan bowl badly at him, or did he just have one of those inspired days?

Chapter 3: How did Ishan Kishan's performance impact the game?
they won convincingly today and they got so much left in the tank we've only had what three overs from Varan Chakravarti only three overs from Kuldeep Yadav two from one from two from Bumrah three from Hardik they didn't bat particularly well in the middle overs it was a brilliant 77 from Ishan Kishan that propelled them to that
It just makes you think, if they can beat Pakistan that well, not playing that well, they're going to be formidable back in India.
Of course, and they are. When you see them play, they dominate, don't they? They are the best team in the world. I think credit to...
India for adapting on that surface you know if you know players came out and saw the way Ishan Kishan batted and said okay we must get 240 here he's absolutely flying let's all go at it actually the ball was turning it was doing a little bit so the way that the batters went
wickets fell came out and said actually i'm i'm struggling out here i'm just going to knock the ball into the outfield i'm going to rotate the strike and just get six seven eight and over and then if the ball's in my spot then i then i'll hit it i think that was really impressive um but again india showing their strength their depth their adaptability yes they are the best team in in the world but having said that pakistan let them get 15 or 20 runs too many like the captain just said at the post-match interview if if i always said at the halfway stage
If Pakistan were chasing 160, it would have been a different game.
