Will There Be A Reserve Day For India vs Pakistan Clash

Unfortunately, there is no reserve day scheduled for the group stage or Super 8 matches in the ongoing T20 World Cup 2026. A reserve day is only in place for the semi-finals and the final of the prestigious ICC tournament.

This means that if rain washes out the high-voltage clash between India and Pakistan on February 15, the match will be abandoned and both teams will be awarded a single point. In T20 internationals, a minimum of five overs per side is required to produce a result.

Pakistan remain unbeaten in the tournament, having secured victories against the Netherlands and USA.

Currently, India sit at the top of the Group A standings with four points and a net run rate of +3.050. Pakistan follow in second place, also with four points, but with a net run rate of +0.932.

India have been placed in Group A of the T20 World Cup 2026 alongside USA, Namibia, Pakistan, and the Netherlands.
