When the schedule for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 was released, India’s Group A seemed to be the most straightforward one. India, being the hosts and the best T20 team at the moment, was touted to go ahead along with arch-nemesis Pakistan. Pakistan have an underrated team and it would be easy for them to go to the Super 8 stage. However, the job is not over yet. Lower-ranked teams have punched above their weight. All three of the USA, the Netherlands and Namibia had their moments but failed to seize them.

India and Pakistan have enjoyed a clean record so far, winning both their first two games. However, one of them will drop points on Sunday in the epic IND vs PAK encounter. The winning team will qualify for the Super 8s. The losing team, however, would then be in a must-win situation.
India have a terrific record against Pakistan in T20Is, having won 6 out of 7 T20 World Cup encounters against them. If they win again in Colombo, India will qualify, but Pakistan’s chances will take a hit. Yes, it is not that type of a tournament where one loss will eliminate a team. But in this format, anything can happen. And with Pakistan, always expect the unexpected.
