Thrilling T20 World Cup Clash: India vs Pakistan Scoreboard | Sports-Games

Pakistan reversed a boycott threat after negotiations, allowing a high-profile T20 World Cup match against India with 35,000 spectators at Colombo's Premadasa Stadium.

  • On Sunday evening at R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, the India national cricket team faced the Pakistan national cricket team after Pakistan reversed its boycott threat, with roughly 35,000 tickets sold.
  • Pakistan's threat emerged after Bangladesh was excluded, with intensive negotiations among the ICC, PCB, and BCB producing a last-minute reversal.
  • On a used, spin‑friendly surface like Friday’s, Pakistan’s spinners Shadab Khan, Abrar Ahmed, Mohammad Nawaz and off-spinner Usman Tariq, called the "trump card" by captain Salman Ali Agha, shape selection.
  • India enter as defending T20 World Cup champions with a 7‑1 World Cup record over Pakistan, while Pakistan last won in 2009 and remain slight underdogs with strong batting and bowling tools.
  • Beyond the scoreboard, the fixture is more than a match and will remind millions why the rivalry matters in cricket's global narrative, while Colombo sidelines meetings underline how sport and diplomacy intertwine.
