The highly anticipated T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan is set to take place in Colombo, following a dramatic reversal of a boycott decision by the Islamabad government. As reported by Business Recorder and Dawn, the match was confirmed late on Monday after the government reversed its order to boycott the game, which had initially threatened the fixture due to political tensions. The match, described by Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav as "not just another game," will be held at the sold-out 35,000-capacity R. Premadasa Stadium, with hundreds of millions expected to watch globally. Both teams have won their initial two matches, setting the stage for a high-stakes clash where the winner will qualify for the Super Eight Stage.
