In a post-match analysis, pace legend Waqar Younis dissected Pakistan's strategic errors following their T20 World Cup loss to India. The 61-run defeat in Colombo unraveled when Suryakumar Yadav's team posted a challenging target of 175. According to Younis, this total was beyond Pakistan's reach from the outset.
Younis attributed India's success to adept spin use, contrasting it against Pakistan's less effective bowling. Veteran Indian player Suryakumar Yadav, known for his situational awareness, played a pivotal role, supported by Ishan Kishan's explosive 77 in 40 balls. These performances positioned India favorably, leading to their comprehensive victory.
Reflecting on the match dynamics, former Indian captain Sunil Gavaskar praised Suryakumar’s leadership and crucial contributions, particularly during challenging innings against both USA and Pakistan. Despite not scoring at a high strike rate, Suryakumar preserved India's batting stability, crucial in securing their win against Pakistan.
