India defeated the USA in their first match of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 by 29 runs at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai. Suryakumar Yadav won the Player of the Match award for his outstanding inning of 84 unbeaten runs off 49 balls, including 4 sixes and 10 fours. Mohammed Siraj and Arshdeep Singh also played well, taking 3 and 2 wickets, respectively. 

Next, India will play Namibia on 12 February 2026 at Arun Jaitley Stadium, Delhi, in the Group Stage. India will start as the clear favorite for the game, but looking at the performance of the associate nations in this World Cup, the team needs to be more cautious. 

After Namibia, India is scheduled to play Pakistan on 15 February in Colombo. However, the Pakistan government has already announced a boycott of the game, but recent developments suggest there are some chances this match can actually happen.

India will play their last match of the group stage against the Netherlands on 18 February at Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad. India already has 2 points after winning the first match. The team needs to be in the top 2 of the table to qualify for the Super 8.
