The countdown has begun for the biggest cricket showdown of 2026 as the India national cricket team takes on the Pakistan national cricket team in the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup today in Colombo at 7:00 PM. Both teams remain unbeaten in the tournament so far. India defeated USA by 29 runs and Namibia by 93 runs, securing the top spot on the points table with four points. The winner of tonight’s high-voltage clash will qualify for the Super Eight stage. Across India, special prayers and rituals are being held in cities like Kanpur and Amritsar for Team India’s victory. There is strong anticipation around opener Abhishek Sharma, who has regained fitness and is likely to return to the playing XI after missing the Namibia match due to a stomach infection. His inclusion may push Sanju Samson to the bench. Captain Suryakumar Yadav has hinted at his comeback. Former cricketers Harbhajan Singh and Kedar Jadhav have backed India, expressing confidence in the team’s strong form.
