India-Pakistan cricket conflict: Preparation for matches under 2026

New Delhi. The cricket battle between India and Pakistan has always been special. It is now difficult to play a bilateral series between these two rival teams, but fans are always excited to watch their clash in multi-nation tournaments. There were several clashes between these two teams in 2025 too, where India won most of the matches, while Pakistan performed well at the junior level. Now we have brought for you information about the India-Pakistan matches to be held in 2026, which will be held under Men’s, Women’s and Under-19 World Cup.

ICC U19 World cup

The first clash of this year between India and Pakistan is likely to take place in the Under-19 World Cup. This World Cup will be held in Zimbabwe and Namibia. However, the spectators may have to wait for this great match, because both the teams have been placed in different groups in the group stage. According to the programme, there will be no match between India and Pakistan in Super-6 also. Hence, fans will get a chance to experience this high-octane contest in the semi-finals and finals, which will add to the excitement in the final stages of the tournament.

ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026

After the junior role, India and Pakistan will face each other in the T20 World Cup between the senior teams. Both the teams have been placed in the same group, and this Mahakumbh is being hosted jointly by India and Sri Lanka. These arch-rivals will face off on February 15 at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. The match will be played at a neutral venue and will feature the same players as in the previous Asia Cup. After the group stage, there are chances that India and Pakistan will face each other again.

ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026

After men’s cricket, fans will also enjoy the clash between India and Pakistan in women’s cricket. Harmanpreet Kaur’s team, which recently won the ODI World Cup title, is playing the T20 World Cup in India and England. In this tournament also, both the teams have been placed in the same group. Team India has always been strong against Pakistan in women’s cricket. Both the teams will start their campaign against each other on June 14 at Edgbaston, Birmingham.
