Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 Schedule: Match Date & Time in PKT
Highlights:
Pakistan’s Group A games are all in Colombo: three at SSC, and the big one vs India at Premadasa (Feb 15).
Match timings for Pakistan fans: every start time is 30 minutes earlier in PKT than the listed local (Sri Lanka/India) time.
If they qualify, Pakistan are pre-seeded “Y3”, which basically “locks” their Super 8 slot (and the venues) in Sri Lanka.
Pakistan T20 World Cup 2026 Schedule (Dates, Time, Venue)
Pakistan’s 2026 T20 World Cup campaign is weirdly simple and brutally intense at the same time. Simple because they don’t travel: Pakistan play their matches in Sri Lanka under the hybrid model. Intense because Colombo is the whole story—your prep, your pitches, your dew, your crowd… everything.

That’s your Pakistan Complete Match List for the group stage. Three games at SSC, one at Premadasa. Same city. Same humidity. Different kinds of pressure.
“Pakistan All Fixtures Sri Lanka” isn’t a tagline, it changes the tournament
Most teams in this World Cup are doing the classic subcontinent shuffle—different cities, different soil, different weather windows. Pakistan? They’re basically setting up camp.
Pros
Zero travel fatigue. No airports, no late-night flights, no “we landed at 3am and trained at 6pm” nonsense.
You can dial in your plans for two grounds and stop guessing.
Cons
It also means you can’t hide. If your batting struggles against slow, grippy surfaces, you don’t get a random flatbed in another city to rescue you. Colombo will keep asking the same questions until you answer them.
The two venues Pakistan must crack
Sinhalese Sports Club (SSC): the “rhythm” ground
Pakistan play Netherlands (Feb 7), USA (Feb 10), Namibia (Feb 18) here.
SSC can feel friendly, but don’t sleepwalk into that Feb 7 morning start. Early moisture + a fresh pitch can make even decent top orders look like they’re batting with a lid on the bat.
My take: if Pakistan are serious, that Netherlands game has to be treated like a knockout. Win it, calm everything down. Lose it, and you’re instantly playing Net Run Rate sudoku.
R. Premadasa: the “chaos” ground
The marquee is India vs Pakistan on Feb 15 at Premadasa.
Premadasa is where games get shaped by the toss and the dew. The ball gets heavier, spinners start bowling flatter, and totals stop feeling safe.
And yes—this is the hybrid-model headline: India-Pakistan in Colombo, even though India is co-hosting.
When Pakistan playing T20 WC? Here’s the clean timeline
Feb 7 (10:30 AM PKT): Netherlands – SSC
Feb 10 (6:30 PM PKT): USA – SSC
Feb 15 (6:30 PM PKT): India – Premadasa
Feb 18 (2:30 PM PKT): Namibia – SSC
If you’re planning watch parties, that’s the core.
If Pakistan qualify: Super 8 schedule (Pakistan pre-seeded “Y3”)
Here’s the part most fans miss: the ICC has pre-seeded certain teams into Super 8 slots, and Pakistan are listed as Y3. That means the slot (and the dates/venues) are basically fixed—opponents can change only if a seeded team crashes out and gets replaced.
Pakistan’s Y3 Super 8 fixtures (local time / PKT):
Feb 21, 7:00 PM local (6:30 PM PKT): Y2 vs Y3 at Premadasa, Colombo
Feb 24, 7:00 PM local (6:30 PM PKT): Y1 vs Y3 at Kandy
Feb 28, 7:00 PM local (6:30 PM PKT): Y3 vs Y4 at Kandy
And if the tournament turns into full geopolitical theatre: there are contingency clauses around knockouts too, including the final venue switch if Pakistan reach it.

Final word (and a very Pakistan prediction)
This schedule gives Pakistan something they almost never get in global events: stability. Same base, same conditions, same routine. But it also removes excuses.
If Pakistan start fast on Feb 7 and don’t gift Netherlands momentum, they’re built to ride this Colombo run deep. If they stumble early, the “Qudrat Ka Nizam” jokes will start on Day 1—and the pressure will feel like it’s raining bricks.
Bold call: Pakistan qualify from Group A, but the real separator is whether they can win a messy one at Premadasa without needing the toss to babysit them.
