Tournament start and opening match
The T20 World Cup 2026 will start on February 7 in Colombo, where the teams of Pakistan and Netherlands will face each other. This match will be played at Sinhalese Sports Club. This match will be very important for Pakistan, because the team would like to start the tournament with a win.
Suspense on India-Pakistan match
The India-Pakistan match, which is considered to be the biggest attraction of this World Cup, is to be held in Group A on 15th February. However, there is still confusion regarding this match. Pakistan has clearly said that it can boycott this match against India. If this happens, Pakistan may have to suffer a big loss.
According to the rules, in case of not playing the match, Pakistan will have to lose two points and its net run rate will also be affected. India will get direct benefit from this, because it can get two points without playing. In such a situation, the picture of the group can change to a great extent.
