India will begin their ICC Women's T20 World Cup 2026 campaign with a Group 1 clash against Pakistan at Edgbaston in Birmingham on Sunday.

The match marks the start of India's attempt to secure their first Women's T20 World Cup title, while Pakistan will also be looking to open their campaign with a victory.

Led by Harmanpreet Kaur, India head into the tournament with an experienced squad featuring Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, Deepti Sharma and wicketkeeper-batter Richa Ghosh.

Pakistan, captained by Fatima Sana, have named a squad that includes experienced players such as Nida Dar, Sadia Iqbal, Muneeba Ali and Diana Baig.

India hold the superior head-to-head record against Pakistan in Women's T20 Internationals. However, Pakistan will take confidence from the unpredictable nature of major tournaments as they seek a positive start to their Group 1 campaign.

The contest is also expected to draw significant interest at Edgbaston, which has regularly hosted well-attended India-Pakistan fixtures owing to Birmingham's large South Asian community.
