📈 Current Form & Recent History
Both teams have started the 2026 World Cup with a win:
Pakistan defeated the Netherlands by 3 wickets in their opening game.
India defeated the USA by 29 runs in their first match.
Last Big Meeting:
In the 2025 Champions Trophy (played in February 2025), India won by 6 wickets. Virat Kohli was the hero of that match, scoring a brilliant 100 not out. Pakistan will be looking to change the result this time under the captaincy of Salman Ali Agha.
🚩 Why was there talk of a "Blocker" or Boycott?
There was a lot of tension because Bangladesh was replaced by Scotland in the tournament after they refused to travel to India. In solidarity with Bangladesh, the Pakistan government initially said they would not play against India. However, after meetings between the ICC and the PCB in Lahore, it has been decided that the match will go ahead to protect the sport and avoid huge financial losses.
Note: Since Pakistan is playing all its matches in Sri Lanka, the atmosphere in Colombo is going to be electric this Sunday!
