All eyes are on Colombo this weekend as arch-rivals India and Pakistan face each other in a high-stakes ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 match at R. Premadasa Stadium.

As expected, the Indian team left for Colombo on Friday morning for the match against Pakistan. The team took a special chartered flight from New Delhi and reached Colombo by the afternoon. The players looked happy and enjoyed each other’s company on the way.

The match is very important for Group A standings and Super 8 qualification. Both teams are unbeaten so far. The game promises excitement on and off the field, but the weather may also play an important role.
