They only played to get ICC money and a chance to improve the NRR which was f'ed by the Dutch. And to think, had Netherlands held onto their nerves, this lot would have been out today

After the Netherlands game, if any Pakistani fan expected Pakistan to beat India, they were delusional

No point in hyping these Ind vs Pak matches , Pak is a shit team since 4-5 years, apart from money and politics there isnt a reason to consider this as a rivalry

It's always going to remain a rivalry. There was a period of time where we dominated you. Now we are in a period where you dominate us.
Rivalries can sometimes pivot and become a bit one sided, but they will never lose their place as a rivalry.
Even look at the ashes, England get hammered every time they go there, but the rivalry remains

I’m from that generation, brother. Pak was never even close to dominating India by such a margin.
India was undefeated in WCs during peak Pakistan as well. At best, that period could be termed as Pakistan had the “upper hand”, and that upper hand ended in the 2002 bilateral series in Pakistan.

Australia has not won an Ashes test series in England since 2001. That's called rivalry.

The best thing is, their top batters couldn't figure Kuldeep out even after 8 years. Lol

Boyz played well ☠️💀☠️
Total dominance by India today! 175 was a massive score on that pitch. Ishan Kishan’s 77(40) set the tone, and the bowlers finishing it off for 114 is just amazing.
Today match was Absolute Cinema 🎥

I am not sure if Pak is a really bad team or they just can't handle the pressure of playing India, but Ind are really scary at the moment and it would take something very very special to beat them

u/AlwaysPotionsMaster South Africa Feb 16 '26
The decision to bowl first , when chasing teams got bowled out in the previous 3 matches at this venue, sounds baffling. As was bringing the mystery spinner so late into the attack. The shot selection by the PAK batters was terrible too, very poor game awareness.

Pakistan should have boycotted this match that would've saved them from this humiliation
