Despite the animosity between the Pakistan and India cricket teams, global fans continue to crave contests between the two arch-rivals and they’ll get their wish as both sides have been placed in the same group for the upcoming Hong Kong International Sixes.
Cricketing relations between Pakistan and India have been anything but cordial, with tensions on full display during this year’s Asia Cup. Despite calls to keep the two teams apart, organizers have opted to embrace the rivalry, recognizing that Pakistan vs India remains a must-watch spectacle.
Both teams have been drawn into Group C alongside Kuwait in the 12-team tournament. The format divides teams into three groups, with the top two from each group advancing to the Cup Finals, while third-placed teams compete in the Bowl League.
Pakistan will kick off its Hong Kong Sixes campaign against Kuwait on November 7 at 7:05 AM (PST), followed by the high-voltage clash against India at 12:45 PM. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has already announced its squad for the tournament, with Abbas Afridi set to lead the national side.
Scheduled from November 7 to 9, the 2025 Hong Kong Sixes promises explosive cricket action with its fast-paced, six-a-side format.
Cricket fans across both nations will be watching closely as the two teams renew their rivalry in Hong Kong, where short boundaries, rapid-fire innings and the tension between the two cricketing giants guarantee plenty of drama.
