India played Pakistan at the T20 World Cup 2026 on 15 February 2026 at Colombo in Sri Lanka. It was a big group stage game between two old rivals in the World Cup season.

Pakistan’s top four batsmen did very poorly. Babar Azam scored just 5 runs, Saim Ayub scored 6, Salman Ali Agha scored 4, and Sahibzada Farhan got 0. None of them even reached 10 runs, which is rare for top-order players.

India bowled well, and Pakistan was all out for a very low total. India chased it easily and won the match comfortably by a big margin. India’s bowlers and batsmen both played better on that day.

Before the 2026 T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan, there was a lot of drama. First, the Pakistan Cricket Board said they might boycott the match because of political tensions and issues about playing in India. They even thought about using the Force Majeure rule to skip the game. 

Later, after the ICC spoke with both boards and governments, Pakistan agreed to play. Second, reports said Indian players decided not to shake hands before the match. Third, former player Mohammad Amir criticized Abhishek Sharma, calling him a slogger and suggesting bodyline bowling. The match felt political, not just cricket.
