Pakistan and the Netherlands will bring the T20 World Cup 2026 to life as the two face each other in the tournament opener at the Sinhalese Sports Club, Colombo. The World Cup 2026 promises a high-octane spectacle as some of the top teams in the world will be vying for the elusive T20 crown.
The tournament will be played across five venues in India and three in Sri Lanka, with 20 teams gearing to leave no stone unturned in the tournament that will run from February 7 to March 8.
Pakistan are placed in Group A along with India, Netherlands, USA and Namibia and will have a task at their hands if they have to make it to the Super Eight stage if they continue with their India boycott call. A loss to any of the associate teams can make their progress to the next stage very hard.
First up will be the undercooked Dutch, who have played only one T20I since September 3, 2025, while Pakistan have featured in 22 during the same time. The Men in Green would know they can't take the Netherlands lightly, as they were the ones who knocked South Africa out of the T20 World Cup 2022 in the group stage.
