The highly anticipated T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan is set to take place in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on February 15, 2026, following a dramatic reversal of Pakistan's initial boycott threat. This decision, influenced by geopolitical tensions and solidarity with Bangladesh, was reversed after intense negotiations involving the International Cricket Council (ICC) and government interventions. As reported by 'Business Recorder', the match, which is expected to draw hundreds of millions of viewers globally, was confirmed only after a 'frantic weekend of negotiations' and a direct appeal from Bangladesh and Sri Lanka to Pakistan. The R. Premadasa Stadium, with a capacity of 35,000, is sold out, and ticket prices have surged on the black market, reflecting the fixture's immense popularity.
