India defeated Pakistan once again to continue their domination in the T20 World Cup over their arch-rivals. The 61-run win highlighted the gulf between the two cricket teams as the men in blue also qualified for the Super 8 round of the T20 World Cup 2026. Meanwhile, Pakistan are in a must-win situation now against Namibia, the clash which is scheduled to take place on February 18.
As far as the match is concerned, Ishan Kishan turned out to be the difference between the two teams. He smashed 77 runs off 40 deliveries in the first half of India's innings and later even the Indian batters struggled immensely. After facing 18 overs of spin, India managed to post 175 runs somehow with the likes of Saim Ayub and Usman Tariq dominating the proceedings.
However, the target proved to be too much for Pakistan as they lost for the eighth time in the T20 World Cup history against India. Their 10-wicket win in the T20 World Cup in 2021 remains their only victory over India.
Memes galore as Pakistan collapse
Netizens were all over the Pakistan cricket team as they started losing wickets right from the word go as they started to chase the 176-run target. They were no match to the Indian team at all in the game and by the time, the powerplay ended, the game was a no-contest at all. Only Usman Khan looked like he belonged, while the other batters only cared to come to the crease and go back like people come for a walk at the Marine Drive.
For all the drama that Pakistan created before the marquee clash, the men in green fell flat on their faces in the end. There doesn't seem to be any rivalry now with the kind of matches that are happening between India and Pakistan.
Here are some of the memes:
