The 2026 ICC T20 World Cup is set to begin on Saturday, with India and Sri Lanka hosting the tournament. The opening match will feature Pakistan against Nepal at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai, India.

In the evening session, India will take on the United States in a repeat of their group stage match from the 2024 edition. The US team made a notable debut at the 2024 ICC World Cup, beating Pakistan with a stunning super over victory.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav acknowledged that his team will face nerves and pressure when playing in front of a large home crowd. However, he emphasized the importance of feeding off the positive energy from the fans and providing entertainment for them.

The Indian team is considered one of the top-ranked T20 teams in the world and is heavily favored to retain their title. They have won seven of their last nine completed T20 matches and have a strong batting lineup, with scores above 215 in each of their last three matches.

India’s fast bowler Harshit Rana has been ruled out due to injury, but his status is being assessed by the team’s physios. The US team will be looking to cause an upset against India, who are also joint-record winners of the T20 World Cup.

The match between India and the United States will take place at 7pm GMT on February 7 at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai.
