T20 World Cup: The blockbuster clash between India and Pakistan in the T20 World Cup 2026 is set to go ahead as scheduled after a lot of drama here on Sunday at the R Premadasa Stadium. Have a look at the India vs Pakistan rivalry in T20 World Cups so far.
Defending champions India began their campaign with a win over the United States and have arrived in Colombo after beating Namibia by 93 runs. Pakistan, on the other hand, looked in all sorts of trouble against the Netherlands before sealing the thrilling encounter in their campaign opener. They followed it up with a clinical performance win against the USA.
India and Pakistan have been placed in the same group in the opening stages of the past five editions of the T20 World Cup and the previous two 50-over World Cup competitions. The last time they were placed in separate groups was the 2011 ODI World Cup in India, though the two eventually faced off in the semifinal, where India beat Pakistan before defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
