India beat Pakistan by eight wickets in the Super Eight stage of Cricket’s World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka (held on 30th September 2012). VIRAT Kohli and cancer survivor Yuvraj Singh starred as India thrashed arch-rivals Pakistan by eight wickets to stay alive in the World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka. India, who would have been knocked out of the tournament had they lost, skittled Pakistan for 128 on a slow pitch and then surpassed the modest target in 17 overs, thanks largely to Kohli's unbeaten 78 off 61 balls. A sell-out crowd of 35,000 at Colombo's Premadasa stadium saw India continue their stranglehold on Pakistan in major world meets. Here an important point to note is Pakistan have never beaten India in either the 50-over World Cup or the World Twenty20, in which they contested a thrilling final in 2007.

Here is the Complete Summary of the India v Pakistan - 20th Match in T20 World Cup 2012 held on 30th September 2012.
