Weather prediction for India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 match in Colombo on Sunday.
In the league stages of the T20 World Cup, there are no reserve days for the matches. If the match between the two Asian rivals is rained out on Sunday, then both teams will share 1 point each with the no-result.
Suryakumar Yadav’s Team India will be hoping for a full match and not a rain-curtailed one as that will give the side the option to plan their strategies well. The pitch at the R. Premadasa Stadium is expected to be more conducive to spin and Pakistan will be packing their side with slow bowlers led by Usman Tariq, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan and Saim Ayub.
Indians hold a 7-1 record against Pakistan when it comes to head-to-head matches with their rivals only winning once in the T20 World Cup 2021 edition when Babar Azam’s side beat Virat Kohli’s team by 10 wickets in Dubai.
Both India and Pakistan have a couple of wins in Group A so far with the defending champions and co-hosts beating USA and Namibia and Salman Ali Agha’s side defeating the Netherlands and United States.
