The tenth edition of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup is off to a start with India and Sri Lanka co-hosting the tournament. Reigning champion, India looks to defend its crown after its title win in the 2024 tournament.
The Men in Blue are set to face their close neighbour and rival, Pakistan, on February 15. Pakistan had originally decided to boycott the match, but ultimately reversed its decision, paving the way for the match to happen as per the original schedule.
