T20 WC: Kishan's Sensational 77 Takes India To 175/7, Ayub Picks Three For Pakistan
T20 World Cup: India finished with 175/7 in their 20 overs against Pakistan in a crucial Group A clash of the Men’s T20 World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday. Wicketkeeper-batter Ishan Kishan was the standout performer, blazing 77 off 40 balls with 10 fours and three sixes, while Saim Ayub’s crafty spell of 3-25 kept Pakistan firmly in the contest.
Kishan’s pyrotechnics at the top gave India the cushion to play within themselves through the middle overs. Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav added 57 off 53 balls collectively, but their subdued approach reflected India’s assessment that the surface was not conducive to a 200-plus score, especially with Pakistan bowling 18 overs of spin.
The innings was a tale of two halves: Kishan’s audacious strokeplay in the first 10 overs, followed by Pakistan’s spinners tightening the screws. The grip and turn on offer from the slow pitch suggests batting would not be straightforward, and the final overs saw India lose momentum as Pakistan chipped away with regular wickets.
