T20 World Cup 2026: West Indies crush Nepal's hopes to seal Super 8 spot

Cricketer-turned-broadcaster Sanjay Manjrekar has slammed Team India’s ‘no shaking hands’ policy they deployed while playing against Pakistan at last year’s Asia Cup in the UAE. Although India chose against honouring the ‘spirit of the game’ (as many suggest it) because of the country's retaliation to the Pahalgam terror attack, where Pakistan-based terrorists killed 24 civilians in broad daylight, Manjrekar feels Team India should either completely boycott playing Pakistan or end this drama of not shaking hands, further urging the players to either play ‘within the spirit of the game or don’t play at all.’&nbsp;Taking to his X handle, Manjrekar wrote, “This ‘no shaking hands’ is such a silly thing that India has started. It’s unbecoming of a nation like ours. Either play properly within the spirit of the game or don’t play at all.”

The ‘no shaking hands’ policy first made headlines at the 2025 Asia Cup when India and Pakistan faced off in the first of three contested matches in that tournament. After winning the first match in Dubai, the Indian Team walked off the field without shaking hands with their counterparts, with the Pakistani players, lined up for the customary handshake, looking clueless. It continued until the finale, which India narrowly won, the matter escalated beyond this tournament and ahead of their marquee T20 World Cup showdown in Colombo on Sunday (Feb 15).&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/t20-world-cup-suryakumar-yadav-mimics-usman-tariq-pause-bowling-action-in-nets-watch-how-india-prepare-for-pakistan-mystery-spinner-1771131955780">SKY mimics Usman Tariq’s ‘pause’ bowling action in nets! WATCH how India prepare for PAK’s mystery spinner</a> &nbsp;The two captains, Pakistan’s Salman Ali Agha and India’s Suryakumar Yadav, also addressed this matter in their pre-game conferences. While Agha said he expects the game to be played ‘within the spirit of the game’, Suryakumar shrugged off the hype around this ‘no shaking hands’ policy, saying firstly, it’s not the most important thing and instead cricket should be, secondly, urging everyone to wait until the match day to see if Indian players continue with it or shake hands with their opponents. &nbsp;"The game should be played in that spirit of cricket," Pakistan captain Agha said on Saturday. "What I expect doesn't matter. But I do feel the game should be played in the way it has been played since cricket started. Rest is up to them [India], whatever they want to do." &nbsp;On the other hand, SKY said, "Wait for 24 hours, no."&nbsp; &nbsp;"Why are you [speculating] now? We have come here to play cricket, we'll play good cricket. We will take the call [on handshake] later. Dine well, sleep,” he continued. &nbsp;Meanwhile, India and Pakistan lead Group A with two wins in their respective contested matches. A winner of this marquee showdown will become the first team to qualify for the Super 8s.

India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is leaving no stone unturned to ensure his team stay ahead of Pakistan in the marquee T20 World Cup match in Colombo on Sunday (Feb 15). Besides usual pre-match training, SKY, as most fans call him, was recorded mimicking Pakistan’s mystery spinner Usman Tariq’s bowling action, including the ‘pause’ which he takes before delivering the ball.&nbsp;&nbsp;Tariq’s pause in his bowling action made headlines since his T20 WC debut against the USA, where he picked up three wickets, with social media accusing him of chucking. Although cleared by the ICC twice previously, his distinctive action has made everyone talk about him, making him the player to look out for in this showdown clash.&nbsp;Also read | <a href="https://www.wionews.com/sports/india-vs-pakistan-live-weather-update-heavy-clouds-in-colombo-will-we-get-a-full-game-feb-15-1771126779559">India vs Pakistan, Live Weather Update: Heavy clouds in Colombo; will we get a full game?</a> &nbsp;Aware of Tariq's threat in this match, SKY bowled like him to his batters in the nets, providing them with an idea of what it would be to face him in the match.

<h2>SKY addresses Tariq’s action –</h2>Tariq’s bowling action came to the spotlight after Australian all-rounder Cameron Green mocked it following his wicket during one of the games in the three-match T20Is ahead of the World Cup. However, a few games later, Tariq remains a threat to the Indian batting attack, with SKY taking note of it. Speaking of his action and how Team India is preparing to tackle it, Suryakumar said, “See, sometimes there is a question in the exam as well, which is out of the syllabus.

We practise with similar types of bowlers and similar actions. We will try to execute what we are practising in the net sessions,” SKY said of Tariq’s bowling action. &nbsp;Meanwhile, Colombo will host the marquee India vs Pakistan T20 World Cup game, with rain threat looming. Should this game get washed out, the two teams will share points, as there is no reserve day for the league games.&nbsp;

WATCH: Suryakumar Yadav mimics Usman Tariq’s unique 'pause' action in the nets! See how India plans to tackle Pakistan’s mystery spinner in Colombo.

India's T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav is leaving no stone unturned to ensure his team stay ahead of Pakistan in the marquee T20 World Cup match in Colombo on Sunday (Feb 15). Besides usual pre-match training, SKY, as most fans call him, was recorded mimicking Pakistan’s mystery spinner Usman Tariq’s bowling action, including the ‘pause’ which he takes before delivering the ball. Tariq’s pause in his bowling action made headlines since his T20 WC debut against the USA, where he picked up three wickets, with social media accusing him of chucking. Although cleared by the ICC twice previously, his distinctive action has made everyone talk about him, making him the player to look out for in this showdown clash.

India vs Pakistan, T20 World Cup 2026 Preview: Arch-rivals resume rivalry in Colombo under rain threat

India and Pakistan are all set to lock horns at the R. Premadasa Stadium in Colombo as the arch-rivals meet in the T20 World Cup 2026. After the threat of boycott was vaporised, it is the dark clouds that could put the tie in jeopardy as the weather gods remain unkind for play in Colombo.

India's Predicted Playing XI vs Pakistan: Will Abhishek Sharma return for key T20 World Cup clash?

South Africa are a step closer to the Super 8 stage of the T20 World Cup after they beat New Zealand by seven wickets on Saturday (February 14). Riding on the excellent batting display from Aiden Markram, South Africa got the better of the Kiwis at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad. Markram scored an unbeaten 86 runs from 43 balls to collect two points after a narrow win over Afghanistan on Wednesday.<h2>South Africa run riot</h2>Left-arm quick Jansen helped limit New Zealand to 175-7 in the top of the table clash in Group D in Ahmedabad. South Africa ran riot in the six-over power play, racking up 83-1 to set up a comfortable chase of their 176 target. David Miller finished it off with a massive winning six to take South Africa to 178-3 with 17 balls to spare for their third win in three games.&nbsp;South Africa and New Zealand are still favourites to advance as the top two in Group D, though United Arab Emirates and Afghanistan retain an outside chance of going through. Markram came out roaring with a flurry of boundaries and raced to his fifty in 19 balls with a six off New Zealand captain Mitchell Santner, his fourth of the innings. He also hit eight fours in his unbeaten 44-ball innings.&nbsp;South Africa lost Quinton de Kock, for 20, and Ryan Rickelton, for 21 off a good catch in the deep by Daryl Mitchell, but Markram looked fluent. Dewald Brevis fell for 21 off Rachin Ravindra's left-arm spin. Fast bowler Lockie Ferguson dropped Markram on 69 off his own bowling to add to New Zealand's woes.

India and Pakistan are all set to lock horns in the T20 World Cup on Sunday (Feb 14) as the two arch-rivals collide after a cloud of uncertainty.

England returned to winning ways on Saturday (Feb 14) as they beat neighbours Scotland in the T20 World Cup 2026. England beat Scotland by five wickets at the Eden Gardens as Tom Banton scored 63 off 41. The win sees England take second spot in Group C as they have four points from three matches, with West Indies leading with two wins in two matches.<h2>England go second in Group C</h2>Needing 153 runs to win, England made a poor start as they lost Philip Salt (2) and Jos Buttler (3) in the opening two overs. However, Jacob Bethell (32) and Tom Banton put together 66 runs for the third wicket to lay the foundation for the win. After Bethell’s dismissal, captain Harry Brook also departed for cheap on four.&nbsp;However, England did not face any further issues as Sam Curran (28) played a key role alongside Banton to help the two-time champions win by five wickets and return to winning ways.<h2>What happened in Scotland’s innings?</h2>Earlier, England's bowlers found their mojo and vindicated Brook's decision to field on winning the toss. After being smacked all parts of Mumbai's Wankhede stadium in conceding 196 to the West Indies on Wednesday, England's attack exerted much more control at Eden Gardens.

The Karnataka State Cricket Association (KSCA), led by Venkatesh Prasad, has named two stands at Bengaluru’s M. Chinnaswamy Stadium after Anil Kumble and Rahul Dravid.

Both players also captained the national team during their successful careers.&nbsp;&nbsp;Reacting to the honour, Kumble said the honour reflects the teamwork and shared effort that built Karnataka cricket.

New Zealand and South Africa will meet on Saturday (Feb 14) in a Group D clash of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 in Ahmedabad. Both teams have won their opening two games, making this a key contest for the top spot in the group.
