Cricket’s fiercest rivalry is back as India and Pakistan gear up to clash in Colombo on Sunday, February 15. Pakistan had briefly threatened to boycott the match, citing solidarity with Bangladesh, but the threat was resolved after last-minute ICC negotiations. Broadcasters, wary of lost ad revenue, also pushed to ensure the marquee fixture went ahead. It remains uncertain whether rain might affect play.
