What Happened India and Pakistan are set to face off in a highly anticipated T20 World Cup 2026 match on Sunday at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo. This match was initially threatened by a boycott called by the Pakistani government, which instructed its team not to play against India in solidarity with Bangladesh, who had been removed from the tournament. Why It Matters The India-Pakistan cricket rivalry is one of the most significant in sports, drawing immense global attention and interest. The potential boycott created a state of chaos for the T20 World Cup, impacting not only the teams involved but also the International Cricket Council (ICC) and the host nation, Sri Lanka. A week of negotiations ultimately led to a reversal of the boycott decision, allowing the match to proceed as scheduled. What’s Next Both teams enter the match unbeaten in the tournament, with India currently leading Group A after victories over the USA and Namibia, while Pakistan has also secured wins against the Netherlands and the USA. The clash is expected to be a thrilling encounter, further intensifying the storied rivalry between the two nations.
