India vs Pakistan ICC T20 World Cup 2026 Live Scores: Suryakumar Yadav’s side eye 8th win over arch-rivals in Colombo clash
India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026: The much-awaited and highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2026 clash between arch-rivals India and Pakistan is set to take place at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday. The Group A encounter will decided the first team to advance to the Super 8 stage with both India and Pakistan having won both their 2 opening matches.
Suryakumar Yadav’s side will once again face a politically-charged situation after Pakistan Government’s ‘boycott’ drama is the build-up to this game. The Pakistan Government had initially refused to give permission to their national team to step on the field against India for the World Cup game. The ‘U-turn’ finally came last week after some concessions from the ICC.
India will be heading into the contest with three wins over Pakistan in T20I cricket last year – all of them coming in their victorious Asia Cup 2025 campaign. Can India notch up their 8th World Cup win over Pakistan, who only have a solitary win to their name.
