New Delhi: The much-anticipated 2026 T20 World Cup India vs Pakistan match is scheduled to take place at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on Sunday, but rains may spoil the important match.
Both teams got off to a good start in the game. Defending champion India defeated the United States and then defeated Namibia by 93 points. Pakistan got off to a shaky start against the Netherlands but narrowly escaped, then beat the United States with ease.
India and Pakistan have been in the same group in many recent tournaments, including the last five T20 World Cups and the first two ODI World Cups. India has dominated Pakistan in the history of the T20 World Cup, winning 7 out of 8 games. India also have a great record in Colombo, winning most of their matches at this venue.
The weather forecast shows a strong chance of rain during the day, but it may taper off at night.
In order for the game to be concluded, each team must play at least five rounds.
What happens if rain cancels IND vs PAK T20 World Cup match?
If this does not happen, the match will be abandoned and both teams will be awarded one point, as there are no reserved days in the group stage.
But the weather is still out of anyone’s control.
If the match is canceled altogether, broadcasters will lose advertising dollars and fans may get ticket refunds, which will hurt Sri Lanka Cricket’s revenue.
A failed India vs Pakistan match would cause significant financial losses to all involved.
