When and where to watch India vs Pakistan match live?

The India vs Pakistan match in the T20 World Cup 2026 will be played today (15 February) at 7 pm at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The match will be broadcast live on the channels of Star Sports Network. There will be live streaming on JioHotstar app.

In the India vs Pakistan match, all eyes will be on Usman Tariq, on whom the Pakistan team and its supporters are claiming that today their team will score a hat-trick of victory in the T20 World Cup. Today there will be a return of Abhishek Sharma, who did not play in the last match due to ill health. There are expectations from Hardik Pandya that he will score a lot of runs on Usman’s balls. Know who are those 7 players on whom everyone’s eyes will be fixed today.

1. Abhishek Sharma

Abhishek Sharma got a ‘golden duck’ in the first match of T20 World Cup 2026, while the opposing team was USA. Before the match against Namibia, news of Abhishek’s stomach infection came, he did not play in the second match. However, Suryakumar Yadav confirmed in the press conference that Abhishek will play against Pakistan today. In such a situation, all eyes will be on his performance, because he is known to strike with the first ball.

2. Usman Tariq

Usman Tariq is being discussed the most in the India vs Pakistan match. The reason behind this is his unique action and slight pause before releasing the ball. Before the match, India practiced by copying Usman’s balls, which clearly shows that there are many questions regarding his bowling in the Indian camp too. Today will be a real test for Tariq too. The way the Pakistan team trusts him, it is clear that there will be a lot of pressure on him too.

3. Hardik Pandya

Looking at the pitch of R Premadasa Stadium, it is believed that today the role of second fast bowler may have to be played by Hardik Pandya, who bowled the first over of the innings in Delhi. There will be expectations from him not only with the ball but also in batting. Actually, Hardik’s playing style is such that he can hit Usman Tariq’s balls. Tariq stops before releasing the ball, whereas Hardik plays a little late and rarely plays forward.

4. Babar Azam

The most experienced batsman of Pakistan team is Babar Azam, who has been out of form for quite some time. Although he scored 46 runs in 32 balls against USA, but before that runs were not coming from his bat. Even if runs were being scored, the strike rate was very low. Babar will have the responsibility of handling the innings in the middle, but Indian spinners Varun Chakraborty and Axar Patel will present a challenge for him.

5. Varun Chakraborty

Varun Chakraborty, the number-1 bowler in the ICC T20 rankings, had taken 3 wickets in just 2 overs in the last match. Reading his balls is not easy for any batsman, whereas today the pitch will also be helpful for the spinners. In such a situation, Varun can prove to be India’s star today.

6. Sahibzada Farhan

Pakistan’s opener Sahibzada Farhan played a brilliant inning of 73 runs in 41 balls in the last match against USA. He seems to be in good form, he had scored 47 runs in the first match also. The last time India and Pakistan faced each other, Farhan had played an inning of 57 runs. Even today, Pakistan will be expected to get a good start from him.

7. Abrar Ahmed

All eyes will also be on right-arm leg spinner Abrar Ahmed, whose wicket celebration had earlier caused a lot of controversy. Abrar is at second place in the ICC T20 bowling rankings, he is not far behind Varun Chakraborty in the rating. Abrar took 2 wickets against Netherlands and 1 against USA, but how does he fare today at the spinner-friendly R Premadasa Stadium? Everyone will have eyes on this.

The India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match will be played in Colombo today. The pitch of R Premadasa Stadium is helpful for spinners, due to this an additional spinner can be included in the playing 11 of Team India while Arshdeep Singh may have to sit out. Suryakumar Yadav has spoken in the press conference regarding whether Abhishek Sharma will play or not.

Both the teams are riding on the winning chariot in the 10th edition of T20 World Cup. Today, if one of India and Pakistan scores a hat-trick of wins, the other will have to face its first defeat. Considering the nature of the weather, it is expected that the fast bowlers will get swing in the initial overs, which will present a challenge to the batsmen. Although the pitch of R Premadasa Stadium is helpful for spinners, in such a situation today either Kuldeep Yadav or Washington Sundar may get a chance in the playing 11. Arshdeep Singh may have to sit out.

Will Hardik Pandya play the role of second fast bowler?

Today, only one fast bowler in the form of Jasprit Bumrah can be included in the playing 11, while Hardik Pandya can bowl 3 overs in the powerplay. India has practiced this, Pandya had bowled the first over in the match against Namibia. Hardik has been bowling well for some time now. Apart from him, Shivam Dubey will also be an option.

Kuldeep or Washington, who will get the chance?

Washington Sundar has joined the team after being fit, although he may have to sit out even today. Kuldeep Yadav may get a place in the playing 11 today as the third spinner along with Akshar Patel and Varun Chakraborty. Kuldeep can trouble Pakistan’s batsmen with his googly.

Will Abhishek Sharma play today or not? Surya made it clear

Suryakumar Yadav said in the press conference, “If you want Abhishek Sharma to play in the match against Pakistan to be held on February 15, then he will definitely play.” In fact, earlier Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga had said, “We want him to play, because we want to face the best team of India.” Surya made it clear that Abhishek will play.

India’s probable playing 11

Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Varun Chakraborty, Kuldeep Yadav, Jasprit Bumrah.

Today the final match of Asia Cup 2025 will be played between India and Pakistan at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. From the statement made by Salman Ali Aga before the match, it is clear that once again the high voltage drama will be seen between the two players. After the last match, Haris Rauf and Sahibzada Farhan were reprimanded by the ICC, despite Salman Ali Aga did not rule out the possibility of any such incident in the final.

Before the match, Salman Ali Aga was asked that if there was a dispute between the last two matches, is there any intention to control the aggression of the team in the final? On this, Salman said that fast bowlers need to show (aggression), due to which there is no question of controlling their behavior.

In the Super-4, Pakistan opener Sahibzada Farhan had done a gun celebration against India by scoring a half-century. Haris Rauf had indicated 6-0 in this match, besides acting to fly and demolish the Rauf plane. The ICC made them strict on this, but the kind of Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga has made a statement that some more controversies can be seen in the finals today.

Even today there will be no handshake

It started from the group stage, where Suryakumar Yadav did not join hands with the captain of Pakistan. After this, even after the match was over, the Indian team did not join hands with the players of Pakistan team. The same happened in Super-4, and today there is every possibility in the final that there will be no handshake between the players of India and Pakistan.

Celebration of players

Last time, when both teams were face to face, there was a dispute between the players about celebrations, the ICC also reprimanded. The ICC fined Sahibzada and Rauf. Like that match, there is a possibility of sledging among the players even today. The stage is big and the matter is about the title, so the team with losing position can look more aggressive. Although the ICC will be more vigilant this time in view of the previous matches, if the player behaves more inflammatory and misbehave, then strict action can be taken on it.

Drama can also occur during trophy presentation

The Asia Cup 2025 winning team will be handed over to Trophy ACC President and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi, in such a situation, the drama can be seen even after the final is over. Not just the winning team but the losing team also joins the ACC president, it is common but maybe India’s players refuse it too, because since the tournament begins, the Speaker has made many inflammatory statements.

There may also be a dispute about umpiring

The pro -Pakistan has raised a finger from the referee to the umpire, the PCB itself is accepting the match referry guilty of the handshake controversy against India. In such high voltage matches, umpires can give some controversial decisions, which one team feels bad. Today, in the Asia Cup 2025 finals between India and Pakistan, many decisions of the umpire can be in the headlines.

The Indian cricket team has won the three matches of the group stage of Asia Cup 2025 and reached Super-4, where the match is being played with Pakistan today. Shubman Gill was dismissed for only 5 runs against Oman, before that he was able to score only 10 runs against Pakistan. He could not read the ball against Oman at all, and the ball coming in, made his stump. Meanwhile, former Indian cricketer and currently commentator Akash Chopra gave him some batting tips.

Shubman Gill scored an unbeaten 20 against UAE, Lakshya Chhota (58) in this match, so Team India’s innings was over quickly. After this, he could not score (10,5) in two innings. He has scored a total of 35 runs in 3 matches. Akash Chopra said on his YouTube channel, “His performance should be noticed. I do not have trouble with Gill, but it is wrong to expect this batsman to bat like Sanju Samson. It is such that Sanju’s style is such that he is a blast or flopped as an opener. Gill is responsible for the innings, he should play the same role.

Akash Chopra gave batting tips to Shubman Gill

Regarding Abhishek Sharma, he said that he is doing well. Chopra said, “He is batting at a strike rate of around 200 in every match. He also scored 30 runs fast, this has given relief to the batsman at the other end. Although Shubman Gill’s fiery form has not been seen. In the first match he was not out for 20 but after that he became bowled against Pakistan and Oman.”

Akash Chopra further said, “This is the area where he needs to see. However, we know that he has replaced Sanju Samson and a fireworks should start like Sanju. But this pitch is not like that. Here is not going to be 200 or above. Get out in an attempt to hit a six. If you do not play Akshar Patel against Pakistan, then you should try to stand on the pitch for a long time. “

There will be more pressure on Pakistan today than Team India, because in the group stage, Suryakumar Yadav & Team defeated Pakistan. Today is the Super-4 match of the Asia Cup 2025, which will be played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium. Earlier, PCB has associated Dr. Raheel Karim with the team to make Salman Ali Aga and other players of the team motive.

When both the teams were face to face on this ground last time, Pakistan was not only lost but also kneeled in front of India. In the entire match, it never felt that Pakistan could win. Pakistan tried to suppress this embarrassing performance by creating a handshake controversy. Pakistani players are completely stunned, they are unable to understand what to do or what not to do.

Pakistani players are under pressure

According to the report of Telecom Asian Sports, Pakistan’s players are under pressure since the crushing defeat to India, he is feeling nervous. PCB has associated Dr. Raheel Karim with the team in Dubai to reduce the pressure on the team players and strengthen the players. Dr. has about 10 years of experience working with the team in sports fields.

According to the news, he was associated with the Pakistan team on Wednesday and will stay with him till the end of the Asia Cup 2025. Their job is to help the players away from negativity.

India vs Pakistan Super 4 matches will be referee Picroft

Today, before the important match in Dubai, Pakistan canceled the pre-match press conference on Saturday. In fact, Indian players did not join hands with Pakistan’s players in the last match, about which the entire Pakistan team including Salman Ali Aga was angry. He demanded the removal of the match referee Andy Picroft from the tournament. But the ICC rejected his demand. After this, the PCB had demanded that at least there should not be referee packets in their match, but this demand was not accepted. Today India vs Pakistan Match Referee Picroft is the only one.
