Men's T20 World Cup 2026 fixtures: England begin against Nepal on February 8 with debutants Italy in same pool; India grouped with Pakistan

England's Men's T20 World Cup campaign will kick off on February 8 against Nepal, marking a new beginning for captain Harry Brook. The 10th edition of the tournament, set to take place in India and Sri Lanka, promises an exciting competition with England competing against West Indies, Bangladesh, Italy, and Nepal in Group C.

For India, defending champions from the previous World Cup, will be facing Pakistan, another highly skilled team, in their group. The two nations have a longstanding rivalry in international cricket due to political tensions between them, which has resulted in all games being played on neutral territory.

The 20-team tournament is expected to feature thrilling matches as teams begin their quest for the coveted title. With three games per day across various venues, fans can expect an exciting competition that will culminate in a thrilling final on March 8.

India and Pakistan are scheduled to face each other in Colombo on February 15, marking one of the first major showdowns between the two teams since their Asian Cup meeting last year. The match against Nepal on February 8 for England sets the stage for what promises to be an intense and captivating tournament.

The Super 8s stage will begin on February 21, featuring the top eight teams competing in a knockout format. The final is set to take place at Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad unless Pakistan qualify, in which case the showpiece game will be held in Colombo.

With a diverse range of teams participating from around the world, fans are eagerly anticipating this year's Men's T20 World Cup, and it promises to be an unforgettable tournament.

So you're thinking that England's new captain Harry Brook is going to lead them all the way to victory? I don't think so ๐Ÿค”. With Pakistan in their group, they've got a tough start. And let's not forget India, the defending champions - those guys are a force to be reckoned with! They're always a strong contender and will want to defend their title.

I'm also wondering if England's team is as stacked as everyone makes it out to be ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ. Nepal might give them a run for their money, especially in their opening match on February 8. And what about Italy? Can they really take down West Indies in Group C?

The Super 8s stage is going to be intense, but I'm predicting India and Pakistan will be the teams to watch out for ๐Ÿš€. It's gonna be a wild ride, that's for sure!
