PAK vs NED: Live streaming details, when & where to watch the 1st game of T20 World Cup 2026

The PAK vs NED clash in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 will be played on 7th February.

Pakistan will begin their ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a clash against the Netherlands on Saturday in Colombo, aiming to make a strong start to their tournament journey. However, the team arrives amid controversy following their decision to boycott the scheduled match against India on 15th February.

The move reportedly came in solidarity with Bangladesh, who withdrew from the fixture citing security concerns, resulting in Scotland replacing them in the competition. Placed in Group A, Pakistan are scheduled to face India, USA, and Namibia, making every match crucial in the race for qualification.

Both Pakistan and the Netherlands will be eager to secure an early victory to build momentum, especially with only the top two teams progressing to the Super 8 stage. If Pakistan goes ahead with the boycott and suffers another defeat, their chances of advancing could become significantly more challenging.

Ahead of the Pakistan vs Netherlands clash, here are the live telecast, streaming details, match timing, and venue information for the encounter.
