New Delhi: There’s always something special about an India vs Pakistan clash, and this one is no different. India kick off their ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 campaign against Pakistan at Edgbaston on Sunday, June 14, with plenty of expectations riding on Harmanpreet Kaur’s side. If you’re wondering where to catch all the action live, here’s everything you need to know.
India Look to Start Their Campaign on a High
India head into the tournament carrying solid momentum from recent white-ball performances and will be aiming to begin with a statement victory against their biggest rivals.
Captain Harmanpreet Kaur and middle-order batter Jemimah Rodrigues have both spoken about embracing the pressure rather than letting it affect their game. The focus will also be firmly on opening pair Smriti Mandhana and Shafali Verma, who have the ability to change the course of a match within a few overs.
With an experienced core featuring Harmanpreet, Jemimah, Richa Ghosh, Deepti Sharma and Yastika Bhatia, India will be hoping for a complete team performance in their opening fixture.

India Hold the Edge Over Pakistan
History has largely favoured India in this rivalry. The Women in Blue hold a dominant 13-3 head-to-head record over Pakistan in Women’s T20 Internationals and also won their most recent World Cup meeting by six wickets in Dubai in 2024.
India have also enjoyed successful bilateral series in recent months, including impressive overseas victories against Australia and England, while registering a clean sweep against Sri Lanka at home. However, occasional setbacks against England and South Africa have highlighted areas that still need improvement.
Pakistan Will Be No Easy Opponent
Pakistan, led by Fatima Sana, arrive with confidence of their own. Sana has been in outstanding all-round form and recently grabbed headlines with a blistering 15-ball half-century against Zimbabwe.
Her contributions with both bat and ball make Pakistan a dangerous side capable of challenging even the strongest opponents if they find early momentum.
