The victory guaranteed that India tops Group A and booked a confirmed ticket into the Super 8s, having one match to spare. Key Takeaways The defining performance was the 77 of Ishan Kishan. Indian bowlers were merciless in executing the plan, particularly early strikes. Pakistan’s chase went hopeless following their catastrophic powerplay collapse. This historic showdown added another chapter in one of the most heated rivalries in the history of cricket and preconditioned the field for even greater conflicts in the future!
