Bad news for cricket fans ahead of India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup match, supporters face…

The fans are very much excited for the T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan, currently the second phase of the tickets sales for the upcoming T20 World Cup 2026 were happening on 14th January, Wednesday. Talking about the ticket sales, we all know how the tickets sales might have gone for this epic match, fans were so much interested to buy the tickets. Just minutes after the tickets were released, a huge number of people rushed to BookMyShow at the same time and the heavy load made the website go down.

How are the cricket relations between India and Pakistan currently?

Cricket ties between India and Pakistan are at their worst after border tensions rose last year, following India’s Operation Sindoor after the deadly Pahalgam attack that killed 26 people. Because of this, players from both sides avoided talking to each other and did not even shake hands during the Asia Cup, even though they played each other three times, including the final.

What happened in the Asia Cup 2025?

India defeated Pakistan in all three matches to lift the Asia Cup 2025, but the controversy did not end there. The Indian team chose not to receive the trophy from ACC head Mohsin Naqvi, who is also Pakistan’s PCB chairman and Interior Minister. The issue continues, as the Asia Cup trophy is still kept at the ACC office in Dubai.

What about the no-handshake policy?

Tension is expected to remain high between the players, just like it was during the Asia Cup, and the no-handshake rule is likely to stay in place during the T20 World Cup as well. Fans are very excited for this big match, which will be played at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo on February 15.

This will be Pakistan’s third match in the league stage. They will begin the tournament against the Netherlands and then play the USA, the team that knocked them out of the 2024 T20 World Cup. India, on the other hand, will start their campaign on the opening day, February 7, against the USA and later face Namibia on February 12 in Delhi.
