India and Pakistan have yet again been clubbed in the same group as the International Cricket Council (ICC) has released the fixtures for T20 World Cup 2026. The arch-rivals will take on one another on June 14, Sunday at the Edgbaston in Birmingham, with the venue likely to be packed. The tournament will get underway on June 12, Friday at the same venue, with hosts England facing Sri Lanka.
Pakistan women's team have faced their Indian counterparts on eight occasions when it comes to T20 World Cup games, dating back to 2009 in Taunton. However, the Women in Green have lost all the games. The latest encounter between them took place in Dubai in the 2024 edition when Harmanpreet Kaur and co. chased down 106 with eight wickets to spare.
With the Indian team clinching their maiden 50-over World Cup title last year, they will be high on confidence during the T20 World Cup. Pakistan, on the other hand, ended their 2025 Women's World Cup campaign winless. India will equally face a herculean task in the group stage as heavyweights in Australia and South Africa are included in Group 1 too.
Here's how the groups are divided:
Group 1: Australia, South Africa, India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Netherlands
Group 2: West Indies, England, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Ireland, Scotland
