IND vs PAK Dream11 Prediction, Dream11 Playing XI, Today Match 27, ICC T20 World Cup 2026

Dream11 fantasy XI tips and guide for Match 27 of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 between IND vs PAK to be played in Colombo.

After a month-long controversy, finally, India and Pakistan will be up against each other on February 15 in Group A of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026. The much-awaited contest will be played at R. Pramadasa Stadium in Colombo, starting at 7 PM IST.

Suryakumar Yadav and co. have been in incredible form, and they will come hard with the bat. Abhishek Sharma is likely to play, which is why he has travelled with the team. We might see Kuldeep Yadav replacing Arshdeep Singh as well.

So, India will go with a spin-heavy attack, similar to Pakistan. The Men in Green have 5-6 spin options, including the mystery spins of Abrar and Usman. The conditions will also suit them, and they would be confident of beating their arch-rivals.

IND vs PAK: Pitch Report

R. Premadasa Stadium has a slow wicket, and it is a great deck for the bowlers. The bounce is good because of the grass covering it has, and spinners have been dominant in the lateral stages.

With rain predicted on Sunday, bowling first can be a good option. If it doesn’t rain like the recent matches, then batting first will be ideal because conditions to bat in the second innings will be slow.
