After all the boycott drama, the day has finally arrived at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. It is the biggest blockbuster clash as India face Pakistan at Colombo. Both teams are set to qualify for the next round, taking away some pressure off the players. But the environment will be as competitive as it can be.
India would love to continue their historical advantage over Pakistan, enjoying a 7-1 record at T20 World Cups. They head into this encounter as favourites but the challenge will be to adapt to the conditions in Colombo. Meanwhile, Pakistan have the conditions advantage and would be looking to avenge the three losses they endured at the Asia Cup 2025.
ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 – Today’s Matches (Feb 15)
| Match | Group | Venue | Local Time (IST) |
|---|---|---|---|
| West Indies vs Nepal | 25th Match, Group C | Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai | 11:00 AM |
| United States of America vs Namibia | 26th Match, Group A | MA Chidambaram Stadium, Chennai | 3:00 PM |
| India vs Pakistan | 27th Match, Group A | R. Premadasa Stadium, Colombo | 7:00 PM |
However, this is not it. India vs Pakistan isn’t the only clash today. We are 24 matches into this T20 World Cup, and Super Sunday will begin from an interesting bout between the West Indies and Nepal. This may look lopsided on paper, but Nepal have a history of beating the Windies side. Not very long ago, Nepal won a series 2-1 against the Windies. However, it won’t be easy this time around as the Windies are in a much better space right now, and also just one win shy from qualifying to the next round. Nepal’s own form isn’t good.
Meanwhile, there’s another Group A clash today as USA go up against a struggling Namibia side. The USA kept their tournament alive after a win over the Netherlands and now they will become the first team to complete their four group stage matches.
