India vs Pakistan 2027 ODI World Cup Date, Timings, Venue & Ticket Info Revealed

The countdown to the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2027 is entering its final stages, with the tournament schedule set to be officially unveiled on October 1, 2026, in Cape Town. The 14-team tournament will be jointly hosted by South Africa, Zimbabwe and Namibia, marking the World Cup’s return to Africa after 24 years. The competition is expected to begin in early October 2027 and conclude with the final on November 21, although the complete list will confirm the exact dates.

The 2027 edition will feature a revamped format, with 14 teams competing across three stages before the semi-finals and final. The bottom three-ranked teams will initially compete in a Super Series, and only the winner of that mini-series will advance to join the remaining 11 teams and then be divided into two groups of six. The top three sides from each group, along with the next-best fourth-placed team, will advance to the Super 7 stage. A total of 57 matches are scheduled to be played across the tournament.

The World Cup will be staged across 12 venues, with eight cricket stadiums in South Africa, three in Zimbabwe and one in Namibia. The confirmed venues include the Wanderers Stadium in Johannesburg, Newlands in Cape Town, Kingsmead in Durban, Centurion, Gqeberha, Bloemfontein, Paarl and East London in South Africa, along with venues in Harare, Bulawayo and Victoria Falls in Zimbabwe and Windhoek in Namibia. The IND vs PAK ODI World Cup 2027 match venue and exact timing will be officially confirmed on October 1.

India vs Pakistan 2027 World Cup Date, Time and Venue

India and Pakistan are expected to be placed in the same group for the 2027 World Cup, setting up another highly anticipated World Cup meeting and adding another chapter to one of the greatest rivalries in cricket. Reports indicate that the two Asian giants could once again be grouped together under the new six-team structure.

While there is no officially confirmed India vs Pakistan date, venue or timing yet, the fixture is widely expected to be scheduled on a Sunday in October 2027. A weekend afternoon or evening slot would provide a larger television and digital audience across India and Pakistan, making the blockbuster fixture particularly attractive from a broadcast and TRP perspective.

However, the scheduling remains an assumption until the ICC releases the complete fixture list. The India vs Pakistan 2027 World Cup ticket process is also set to move forward on October 1. Fans are expected to be able to register for the ticket from the schedule-announcement day, although tickets will not immediately go on general sale.
