India Lose Consecutive Matches to Pakistan and UAE at Hong Kong Sixes 2026
India began their Hong Kong Sixes 2026 campaign with a four-wicket loss to Pakistan, who chased down 89 runs in 3.5 overs, powered by Khawaja Nafay's 41 and Abbas Afridi's 35. India's total of 88 for five featured a quick 40 from Shashank Singh but was undermined by Krunal Pandya conceding 31 runs in one over. The following day, India suffered a second defeat against the UAE, who chased 95 runs without losing a wicket in 4.2 overs. These back-to-back losses placed India at the bottom of Group C, making their remaining matches crucial for qualification.
