The match between India and Pakistan is always one of the most eagerly awaited clashes in cricket. In 2025, the two teams played several matches, with India winning multiple encounters, including consecutive victories in the Asia Cup.
In 2026, there won’t be any bilateral series between India and Pakistan. But fans will still have exciting opportunities to watch these iconic rivals clash in ICC tournaments. Here’s a breakdown of all the India-Pakistan matches in 2026:
India and Pakistan are in the same group for the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, which will be co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka starting February 7. The highly anticipated India-Pakistan match will take place on February 15 at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
Although the teams won’t play on Indian soil, fans can expect a thrilling contest. Depending on the tournament’s progress, India and Pakistan could meet again later in the competition.
The Under-19 World Cup is being held this month in Zimbabwe and Namibia. India and Pakistan are not in the same group, so fans may have to wait longer to see a clash.
India’s Under-19 team will be eager to avenge their last loss to Pakistan in the previous encounter.
The Indian women’s team, fresh off their first Women’s ODI World Cup win in 2025, will travel to England for the Women’s T20 World Cup. India and Pakistan are in the same group, making their match on June 14th at Edgbaston, Birmingham a crucial game.
With other strong teams like Australia and South Africa in the group, a victory against Pakistan will be key for India’s chances of advancing further.
Even though fans won’t get as many matches as in 2025, these ICC clashes promise to be the highlights of the year, keeping the legendary India-Pakistan rivalry alive.
