The IND vs PAK match is the most anticipated match in the T20 World Cup 2026.
Undoubtedly, the IND vs PAK game is among the most entertaining games in ICC tournaments. Due to their decade-old rivalries and high fan following, the India vs Pakistan encounters entertain the viewers to the fullest.
Both India and Pakistan are placed in Group A in the T20 World Cup 2026. While the drama usually starts on the day of the match, the controversy has already started since the start of the tournament this time.
Notably, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) earlier refused to play against India after not getting permission from their government to take the field against India. They also took the step as a mark of protest against Bangladesh’s removal from the 20-team tournament by the International Cricket Council (ICC).
However, after an official meeting between ICC, PCB, and BCB in Lahore, Pakistan agreed to play against the Indian team. Notably, the Men-in-Green are scheduled to play all of their matches in Sri Lanka as they refused to travel to India for the tournament.
