Pakistan’s dream start to T20 World Cup 2026—victories over Netherlands and USA—sets the stage for a blockbuster on February 15: India in Colombo. Yet, amid the hype, opener Sahibzada Farhan is keeping things grounded.
‘No big deal about the next game,’ Farhan said after dismantling USA. ‘Two straight wins have us buzzing with confidence. It’s not like we haven’t faced India before. We’ll bring a new strategy this time around.’
The batsman’s optimism stems from team-wide improvements. ‘Shadab and Nawaz are getting runs now, unlike our past struggles. Fans are in for a treat with this rivalry renewed.’
On the string of India wins in recent encounters, Farhan pushed back. ‘Asia Cup proved otherwise—we hung tough until the last ball. Expect fireworks from us.’
Farhan’s contributions have been match-defining. He blazed 47 off 31 against Netherlands and followed with 73 off 41 versus USA, bagging Player of the Match. ‘My back-to-back fifties have me confident. India game? Just another day at the office— we’ll play relaxed on Sunday.’
As pressure mounts in this iconic fixture, Farhan’s no-nonsense vibe might just unlock Pakistan’s potential for an upset, captivating global audiences.
