In a historic match during the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, Pakistan's bowling strategy made headlines as they deployed a remarkable 18 overs of spin against India, equaling the record for the most overs of spin in a T20 World Cup innings, as reported by The Hindu. Despite this record-setting achievement, Pakistan faced a significant defeat, losing by 61 runs, which marks India's largest victory margin over Pakistan in T20 internationals. Ishan Kishan's explosive innings of 77 runs off 40 balls propelled India to a total of 175 runs, while Pakistan could only muster 114 runs in response.
