T20 World Cup 2026 Team India has not just defeated Pakistan. Rather, he has got double benefit from it. In the same achievement, he has also broken Australia's 19 year old world record. Now the question is, which world record is that? What other benefit has Team India got after defeating Pakistan in Colombo? Let us know about both the benefits one by one in detail.

India's record win over Pakistan

India registered a record victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026 match played on February 15 at Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. They defeated them by 61 runs, which was India's biggest win over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup in terms of runs. This is Pakistan's second biggest defeat in terms of runs in the T20 World Cup.

First advantage of defeating Pakistan - Super 8 ticket

Now the first benefit of this big victory for Team India was that it got the ticket for Super-8. After defeating Pakistan, it reached the Super-8 of T20 World Cup 2026 and became the second team after West Indies to achieve this success.

India broke Australia's world record by defeating Pakistan

Apart from this, the second advantage of the Indian team's victory over Pakistan was that it was successful in breaking Australia's world record. The Australian team had made this world record 19 years ago, which is related to winning the most consecutive matches in ICC tournaments. Australia had won 15 consecutive matches in ICC tournaments between 2006 and 2007, which has now been broken by the Indian team. Team India's victory against Pakistan was its 16th consecutive victory in ICC tournaments. India has achieved this victory between 2024 and 2026.

Although Australia tried to improve its world record, between 2023 and 2024 it could win only 14 consecutive matches in ICC tournaments.
