India vs Pakistan Match: Today, all the cricket fans will be watching TV and mobile from 7 pm onwards. Because today itself there is a big match between India and Pakistan in the 2026 T20 World Cup. Indian cricket team’s record against Pakistan in international T20 cricket is very good. Even in the T20 World Cup, India has defeated the Pakistan team on most of the occasions.
Earlier in the Asia Cup 2025, India had defeated Pakistan not once, not twice but three times. But there will be some aspects in the 2026 T20 World Cup match, which can be harmful for the Indian team. Know here why it will not be easy for Team India to register a win against Pakistan in Colombo today.
Why will it be difficult for India to win?
-There is a lot of difference in the playing conditions of India and Sri Lanka. Till now, Team India has played both its matches on flat pitches, where high-scoring matches are usually played. But till now the dominance of spinners has been seen on Sri Lankan pitches and Pakistani players have adjusted well to those conditions. In such a situation, it may be difficult for Indian players to adjust to the suddenly changed conditions.
-Usman Tariq has been in the news recently. Various claims have emerged that his bowling action can spoil the rhythm of the Indian batsmen. How big a threat Team India considers him to be, can be gauged from the fact that in the nets, Suryakumar Yadav was seen bowling the ball with his hands held like Usman Tariq. Obviously, Team India will have to stay safe from the bowling variations of Usman Tariq.
-One weakness of Team India has come to light so far in the tournament that it has lost wickets in batches against spin. For example, Namibia’s captain Gerhard Erasmus took 3 wickets in the 19th over. Due to this, while Team India was dreaming of scoring 225-230, it had to be satisfied with only 209 runs. Before that, in the match against USA, Rinku Singh and Hardik Pandya were out in just 6 balls against spin.
