Pakistan absolutely refused to play the match against India in the T20 World Cup 2026. Last Sunday (01 February), the Pakistan government shared a post on the social media platform This decision of Pakistan can cause a loss of approximately Rs 4500 crore.
Let us tell you that in any World Cup, the match played between India and Pakistan is watched the most, and the highest earning is also from this match. Now if this match is not played in the upcoming T20 World Cup, it will cause the biggest loss. So let us know in which ways there can be a loss of Rs 4500 crore if there is no competition between India and Pakistan.
There will be loss in these ways
The estimated value of the India-Pakistan match in the T20 World Cup is US$500 million (Rs 4,500 crore), which includes all other activities like broadcasting, premium advertising, sponsorship, ticket sales and legal betting. Apart from India-Pakistan, no other match even comes close to it in terms of value.
advertising revenue
The estimated earning from advertisements alone in the India-Pakistan match would have been around Rs 300 crore. A 10 second slot of advertisement in the match was priced at Rs 25 to 40 lakh. This was probably the most expensive ad slot in the entire tournament. If this match is removed, the entire financial structure of the T20 World Cup may change.
Huge loss to India and Pakistan
According to media reports, India and Pakistan may suffer a loss of around Rs 200 crore if the match is not held.
Heavy loss of PCB
Reportedly, Pakistan Board gets 5.75% revenue from ICC. This revenue can be up to about 34.51 million dollars (about 316 crore Indian rupees). PCB is in danger of losing this revenue also.
huge loss in ticket sales
No matter which country in the world the India-Pakistan match is played in the World Cup, the stadium remains almost full packed. At the same time, tickets for India-Pak match are also sold much more expensive than other matches. In case the match does not take place, tickets will not be sold, which will lead to huge losses. Even if the tickets are sold, the organizers will have to refund them.
