In their remaining group stage fixtures, India will take on Namibia on February 12 in New Delhi and will round off the proceedings against the Netherlands in Ahmedabad on February 18, 2026. This will be the biggest T20 World Cup in the history of the game so far, as for the first time, 20 teams will be in the fray.

While the focus will be on India and Pakistan in Group Apicked as the Group of Death by the event's Brand Ambassador Rohit Sharma, the Netherlands and USA, who stunned Pakistan in the previous edition in 2024, can always cause an upset or two.

Group C, which includes Bangladesh, first-time qualifiers Italy, and Nepal, is led by two-time champions England and the West Indies.

The top two teams from each group will progress to the Super Eight stage, split into two groups of four. From there, the top two in each Super Eight pool advance to the semifinals before the March 8 final determines the 2026 champion. Rohit Sharma, who has played in every edition of the T20 World Cup so far, winning titles in the inaugural edition in 2007 and in 2024, said it was heartening to see so many countries playing in the T20 World Cup. It shows that our spot is growing, said the event's ICC Brand Ambassador Rohit Sharma. The top two teams from each group will progress to the Super Eight stage, split into two groups of four.

Easy availability of chemicals, electric components increase IED threat: NSG after Delhi blast
NEW DELHI: The National Security Guard (NSG) alerted authorities about the recent spike in the use of Improvised Explosive Device (IED) by 'terror groups' due to easy availability of individual components and chemicals. The NSP submitted a report in this regard to the Union Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA), requesting for implementation of stricter checks on such materials. Security officials said that the NSG made an assessment following the Red Fort blast and identified the easy availability of bomb-making materials as one of the primary factors leading to the recent increase in IED explosions reported from across the country. In the report, the NSG said, The rise in IED blasts in J&K is largely driven by continued cross-border infiltration, facilitated by both drones and armed militants. Notably, the 60 percent increase in high-impact, high-casualty blast incidents in 2024 compared to 2023 - despite a major reduction in casualties - indicates a strategic shift in sustaining tactics. It went on to add that the increase in the number of IED explosions in the rest of India is a concerning trend, driven by increased knowledge and increased accessibility to bomb-making materials, leading to the proliferation of disruption-focused terror activities. The NSG, along with forensic experts, collects samples of all the blasts in India and compiles data in a comprehensive and authentic manner. In the report, the NSG noted that not only do major cities continue to remain under high alert, smaller towns and districts, which are conventionally considered at lower-risk, have also experienced a concerning rise in attempts and successful detonations involving crude IEDs. The officials said commonly available chemicals and electrical components can be used to make build IEDs, enabling even untrained individuals to assemble low-grade but highly sophisticated explosive devices. The officials also noted the role of online dissemination of harmful content, saying that while many devices recovered were rudimentary, the intent behind their assembly poses a growing security concern and without tighter controls, the country may continue to see sporadic IED incidents in areas previously considered secure. Union Home Minister Amit Shah had announced that a new NSG hub would be established in Ayodhya, expanding the elite forces reach to six major hubs across the country including Mumbai, Chennai, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Jammu. He emphasised that NSG commandos would remain deployed round the clock, ensuring rapid response to any terror threat.
