The off-again-on-again T20 World Cup cricket match between fierce rivals India and Pakistan is now confirmed to take place this Sunday, with the latter desperate for a win against the reigning champions in order to restore some national pride. Ahead of the most-anticipated match of the group stage, we explain below where to watch India vs. Pakistan in different locations around the world.
India are heavy favorites to sweep Pakistan aside in this grudge match in the neutral arena of the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka. Bad blood off the field spilled on to it in an ill-natured trio of matches during last year's Asia Cup and certainly won't have been helped by Pakistan's controversial decision to boycott this match — a decision it reversed only a few days ago.
It's hard to imagine a world where India don't have their hands on the trophy again when all is said and done on March 7. They excel all over the field, and the likes of spinners Varun Chakravarthy and Axar Patel and destructive batters like Suryakumar Yadav, Ishan Kishan, and Hardik Pandya are looking very hard to stop in conditions that suit their game perfectly. They have built up to this big-ticket game with comfortable wins over the USA and Namibia.
Pakistan almost suffered a shock loss first up against the Netherlands, but bounced back with a resounding win over the USA. Sahibzada Farhan is in a rich vein of form with the bat, while their quintet of spinners (Saim Ayub, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz, Shadab Khan, and Usman Tariq) have used some testing tracks to their advantage. It all sets up an intriguing contest this Sunday, which you can watch for free in some territories. Keep reading for all the information you need to watch India vs. Pakistan in the 2026 T20 World Cup.
