Assuming both cricketing giants flex their muscles and qualify for the Super 7 phase, a second match is mathematically guaranteed because every team must play everyone else in the round-robin pool.
Finally, if both teams successfully navigate the Super 7 to finish in the top four, they could face each other a third time in either a high-stakes semi-final or the ultimate World Cup final.
Maximum Revenue and High Fan Engagement
It is no secret that an India-Pakistan cricket match is the sport's biggest commercial engine, driving unprecedented broadcast ratings, packed stadiums, and monumental sponsorship values. Because political tensions keep the two nations from playing bilateral series outside of official ICC events, global tournaments are the only stage where this historic rivalry comes alive.
While the ICC maintains that the new format was purely introduced to elevate competitive standards and give context to every match, fans on social media are already celebrating what seems like a master stroke to deliver maximum entertainment and record-breaking revenue.
