India bundle out Pakan for 114 as Men in Green record their third-lowest T20 World Cup score | Cricket News
2 min readFeb 15, 2026 10:20 PM Pakan’s well documented batting collapse came back to haunt them in the crucial encounter against India on Sunday when they were bundled out for 114 runs, losing the match 61 runs in a crucial Group A match at Colombo. This was also Pakan’s third lowest score in a T20 World Cup match, right behind their 82 vs West Indies in 2014 and 113/7 vs India in 2024.
The morning showed the day for Pakan in the run chase as they lost Sahibzada Farhan in the very first over Hardik Pandya for a duck, followed Saim Ayub and Salman Agha who fell to Jasprit Bumrah. Babar Azam wouldn’t last long either as Pakan suddenly went 34/4 inside the powerplay.
After that, Usman Khan tried to build some resance but he also fell for 44 which led to Pakan suffering another collapse, losing Mohammad Nawaz and Shadab Khan for just 5 runs after Usman’s wicket.
Faheem Ashraf and Abrar Ahmed departed before the Men in Green even crossed 100 runs as Pakan lost another high-profile encounter against India.
Earlier, Ishan Kishan made a high-quality 77 off 40 balls on a challenging surface to take India to 175 for seven.
Put in to bat, Kishan took the game away from Pakan despite the fall of Abhishek Sharma in the first over bowled Salman Ali Agha.
The other Indian batters found it tough to get the boundaries against the Pakan spinners. Agha employed pace for just two overs in the innings.Story continues below this ad
India captain Suryakumar Yadav made 32 off 27 balls. Saim Ayub was the pick of the Pakan bowlers, ending with three wickets for 25 runs in four overs.
Overall, Pakan’s lowest-ever men’s T20I score of 74 against Australia in 2012 in Dubai. Pakan’s lowest T20I total against India came in yet another defeat during the 2016 Asia Cup, where they could only add 83 runs in Dhaka.
