India vs Pakistan – the T20 World Cup blockbuster at R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday – is a must-watch for cricket fans. The heated rivalry between IND and PAK goes well beyond sport, but will rain wash out this Group A tie? See below for how to watch India vs Pakistan live streams free.
Sahibzada Farhan, who hit a major personal milestone in midweek with his 1,000th T20I run, has set the tone for the Shaheens. The right-hander was top-scorer for Pakistan in all three India v Pakistan encounters at the 2025 Asia Cup. Their spin-heavy attack should also find plenty of joy in the Khettarama pitch, though Babar Azam’s ongoing slump remains a concern.
India’s top-ranked T20I batsman Abhishek Sharma has had a nightmare so far, being bowled for a golden duck on his tournament debut, before being hospitalized with a stomach bug. He’s expected to return to the team for Sunday’s encounter, though India fared well in his absence, thanks to Ishan Kishan. They have, however, shown a propensity for losing multiple wickets in quick succession.

Will rain lash IND vs PAK on Feb 15th?
TLDR: rain isn’t guaranteed, but there’s a strong risk of showers during the India match — so it could be wet and interruptions are possible, according to the Pakistan Government.
Current international forecast models and reports suggest a significant chance of rain (roughly 50 – 65 %) around the toss/match time, with scattered thunderstorms and showers possible before or during the game. If it does rain, it may cause delays, interruptions, or even a reduced-overs match, though a full washout is not certain. Modern drainage at the stadium can help resume play relatively quickly if showers occur.
