The buzz for the India-Pakistan game this Sunday, February 15, is off the charts. Both teams are heading into Colombo without a single loss in the T20 World Cup 2026. India are currently leading Group A. This comes after they crushed Namibia by 93 runs in Delhi, where Ishan Kishan went off for a lightning-fast fifty. Pakistan are right behind them in second place. They shook off some early nerves against the Netherlands and then cruised to a win over the USA.
India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 game in Colombo on February 15
There is a lot on the line at the R. Premadasa Stadium. Whoever wins this basically locks in a spot for the Super 8 stage. Fans are already swarming the Sri Lankan capital. It’s gotten to the point where hotel prices are hitting crazy highs, and every local spot is packed.
Everyone is just waiting for the next chapter of this massive India vs Pakistan rivalry. There was some drama earlier when Pakistan threatened to skip the game, but they eventually confirmed they’re playing after some high-level talks.
What is the weather like for the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 game?
Even with all this hype, the weather might mess up the 7:00 PM IST start. AccuWeather is predicting a massive 93% chance of rain in Colombo on Sunday. Sri Lanka’s weather office even put out a warning about a low-pressure area in the Bay of Bengal that could turn into a storm.
We’re looking at heavy clouds and thunderstorms through the afternoon. This will likely soak the R. Premadasa field before the toss even happens. The actual rain might let up to around 9% by the 7:00 PM start time. However, all that leftover water from the daytime downpours could still delay things.

The ground staff in Colombo are known for being fast with the covers. Still, they can’t do much if that storm system moves in faster than they expect. Since the ICC provides no reserve days for the group stage, both teams will walk away with one point each if they can’t get at least five overs in the India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 game.
