Pakistan World Cup 2026 Matches in India

Although the 2026 T20 World Cup is jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka, Pakistan will not play any matches in India. Due to the political agreement between the BCCI and PCB during the Asia Cup 2025 discussions, it was decided that:

  • India will not play matches in Pakistan
  • Pakistan will not play matches in India
  • Pakistan will play all World Cup fixtures in Sri Lanka

If Pakistan reaches the semi-final or final, those matches will also be moved from India to Sri Lanka. Otherwise, knockout matches will be hosted as planned in India.

Because of this arrangement, the Pakistan team has a major influence on the schedule and venue changes for the tournament.

Conclusion

The ICC earns a massive viewership from Pakistan vs India matches, and it is highly likely that the ICC will place both teams in the same group once again. However, due to the political situation, their matches will be hosted in Sri Lanka instead of India.

While fans eagerly wait for the official schedule, the predicted fixtures give a good idea of Pakistan’s possible match lineup. Once the ICC releases the final schedule, full details including Pakistan’s group, venues, and official match timings will be updated here.
