The ICC has confirmed venues and the schedule for the T20 World Cup 2026. The tournament will see the high-profile group match in Colombo, while the ICC has also confirmed the full tournament schedule and groupings for the 20-team event co-hosted by India and Sri Lanka from February 7 to March 8, featuring 40 group games across various venues.

T20 World Cup Groups:

Group A: India, USA, Namibia, Netherlands, Pakistan
Group B: Australia, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, Ireland, Oman
Group C: England, West Indies, Bangladesh, Italy, Nepal

The two teams only face each other in ICC and ACC events now. Amid political tensions, Pakistan and India do not lock horns in bilateral series anymore.

Nah our T20 Team is well settled unlike test. Yes GG can do blunders like playing harshit rana but we are still good enough to beat any team in T20 cricket.

If it played in Colombo then it's a win for Pakistan regardless of result

[BouncerGuy]

India is too good in t20s atm.... It will be 80-20 India here

 

[Hitman]

Like always, no prediction from my side. Would rather wait for the match to happen.

If match is not telecast live, then only winner is Pakistan

That's not fair BouncerGuy, he has repeated it Just 100 times. Some people are writing the same post in every thread for the last 2-3 years.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Abhi hum Indian fans bhi royenge just like you guys during Champions Trophy

Pakistan playing all matches in Colombo

Advantage of playing in only one city - Colombo.

Why is this always phrased like this when it should be "India chooses not to lock horns in bilateral series with Pakistan"? We all know which side avoids playing the other while they desperately fix groups so they can catch them at tournaments and make money from there.

Thanks it means one side affairs for India

So if money is the motive for the BCCI to play Pakistan in tournaments, why isn't money the motive to also play Pakistan in bilaterals?​

Iyer is not in contention for T20 side

 

[Vikram1989]

Iyer is not in contention for T20 side

But he wants gill to be replaced by iyer/any one from csk preferably.

They should give Riyan parag some chance before the World t20.

 

[Vikram1989]

They should give Riyan parag some chance before the World t20.

Last couple of years, Parag didn't do anything even in ipl. He has to compete with rinku at 7.both play pacers well but not so good against spin in death overs.

15th February 2026 is also a Sunday....... 5th win in a row for India

Bcoz for bilateral series u cannot make any excuse that India dont want to play them but cannot help as its ICC / ACC event

So they just fix ICC events to ensure the 2 teams always play each other & then pretend that BCCI cannot do anything

 

[AamchiMumbaikar]

8 out of 11 players in our t20 squad are quite good. Hunt on for rest 3
