T20 World Cup: A great match will be played between India and Pakistan in Sri Lanka on Sunday.

New Delhi, 14 February 2026: The moment which cricket lovers all over the world were eagerly waiting for has arrived. Tomorrow i.e. Sunday, 15th February, Sri Lankan R. The Premadasa Stadium will host a high-voltage encounter between India and Pakistan in the group stage of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. The Indian team is currently in great shape under the leadership of Suryakumar Yadav. Team India’s confidence is sky high after winning the initial matches of the group stage. Hardik Pandya’s all-round performance for the team and Jasprit Bumrah’s lethal bowling can become a headache for Pakistan. Especially in the opening, the pair of Shubhman Gill and Virat Kohli are ready to attack the Pakistani bowlers.

The biggest question regarding the playing eleven in tomorrow’s match is the fitness of Abhishek Sharma. He could not play the last match due to stomach infection. If he is fit, he will directly return to the team, otherwise Sanju Samson will once again be seen batting in the middle order. R. Ashwin has also raised questions on Sanju’s performance and said that Team India must be hoping for Abhishek’s comeback. Meanwhile, the Meteorological Department has predicted rain in this Ramnari match in Colombo. There is a 60% chance of rain tomorrow evening. If it rains, the overs may be cut short or the match may be washed out. However, the news of relief for the fans is that provision of reserve day has been kept for important matches.

India has always had a heavy upper hand in the history of the T20 World Cup. India has won most of the matches played against Pakistan so far. Pakistani team is more dependent on the batting form of Babar Azam and Rizwan and swing bowling of Shaheen Afridi. Before the high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday, experienced spinner R. Ashwin has made important points regarding the playing eleven of the Indian team and the mental condition of the players. Speaking on his YouTube channel, Ashwin said, “In the absence of Abhishek Sharma, the team supported Sanju Samson, but I think India will now be waiting for the return of Abhishek. Abhishek can prove to be a big player for India in white ball cricket.” It is noteworthy that due to stomach infection, Abhishek could not play the last match against Namibia.

In the match against Namibia, Sanju Samson made an aggressive start by scoring 22 runs (3 sixes, 1 four) in 8 balls, but he could not convert it into a big innings. On Samson’s dismissal, Ashwin said, “Sanju Samson is struggling for runs right now. His mind seems to be confused. The way he got out against Namibia, it was clear that his mind was not clear. If I were in his place, I would have advised him to just play his natural game without fear without thinking too much.” India’s next match is against Pakistan in Colombo on Sunday. If Abhishek Sharma is not fully fit by the match, then Sanju Samson may once again get a chance in the playing eleven. This will be the last and best chance for Samson to regain his confidence by performing brilliantly against a big team like Pakistan.
