Shivam Dube and Rinku Singh play a great hands down the order for India in the IND vs PAK T20 World Cup 2026 clash.
India’s innings against Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026 clash at Colombo’s R Premadasa Stadium began with early promise but faced challenges on a tacky pitch that assisted bowlers.
Pakistan captain Salman Agha won the toss and elected to field first, a decision that paid off initially as Agha struck in the first over, dismissing Abhishek Sharma for yet another duck.
Ishan Kishan, however, counter-attacked fiercely, smashing a blistering 77 off 40 balls, including 10 fours and 3 sixes, reaching his fifty in just 27 deliveries. His aggressive strokeplay propelled India to a fabulous head start which proved invaluable later on.
The middle order steadied with contributions from Tilak Varma and Suryakumar Yadav, but Pakistan’s spinners, led by Saim Ayub’s double strike in the 15th over, slowed momentum.
Shivam Dube injected late energy with a quick 27 off 17 balls, while Rinku Singh provided fireworks in the final over against Shaheen Afridi. India ended with a competitive 175/7 in 20 overs, an above-par total on the slow surface.

The late drama extended beyond wickets, as Shivam Dube’s run-out in the final over sparked visible tension. Attempting to convert a single into a non-existent double, Dube was caught short following a miscommunication with Rinku Singh.
Dube appeared frustrated upon returning to the dugout, exchanging heated words and an angry stare with Rinku. This incident echoed earlier run-out troubles for Dube in the tournament, including a similar mix-up against Namibia where he was stranded mid-pitch due to confusion with Rinku, leading to his dismissal.

Such moments fuel debates on their partnership dynamics, which could prove costly for the Men in Blue in future matches.
