Few rivalries in world sport match the intensity of India vs Pakistan, and their clash at the 2026 ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup promises another high-stakes chapter in one of cricket’s most fiercely contested showdowns.

Pakistan's Salman Agha chose to field after winning the toss against India but there was no handshake between the captains before the Twenty20 World Cup Group A blockbuster on Sunday.

Both nations currently have four points each after playing two games, but India are ahead in Group A due to a superior net run rate of 3.050 to Pakistan's 0.932.
