World Cup 2027: Pakistan and India Likely to Be Placed in Same Group Again
Zeeshan Mehtab reported on September 30, 2026, that the ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 will be held in South Africa, Namibia, and Zimbabwe from October 2 to November 21. Traditional rivals Pakistan and India are expected to be placed in the same group once again despite Pakistan's less-than-impressive record against India.
According to media reports, commercial partners have insisted on a Pakistan-India match in the group stage, highlighting its importance for broadcasting purposes. The ICC Cricket World Cup 2027 schedule will be unveiled in Cape Town tomorrow at 9 p.m. Pakistan time.
The 14-team tournament will begin on October 2 and conclude on November 21. A one-year countdown to the event will start on October 1.
