The India–Pakistan rivalry remains one of cricket’s most-watched spectacles, with fans across the world eagerly awaiting their encounter. Despite recent contests not always living up to expectations, the political backdrop and history between the two nations continue to fuel anticipation. If both teams progress deep into the tournament, they could meet up to three times — including a possible showdown in the final.
