🇮🇳🇵🇰 India vs Pakistan Live: When and Where to Watch IND vs PAK, Hong Kong Sixes 2025 — TV, Streaming, Squad Details

Get ready for a clash of old rivals in a new format — India vs Pakistan at the Hong Kong Sixes 2025! The high-octane, fast-paced six-a-side cricket carnival is back after a break, and fans are in for some nostalgic cricketing fun at the Mission Road Ground in Kowloon.

This year’s Indian squad, led by Dinesh Karthik, will hope to change the country’s fortunes in the tournament that has historically not been their strongest suit. India won the Hong Kong Sixes only once — way back in 2005 — and will look to make a mark in this 21st edition.

🏆 Tournament Overview: Hong Kong Sixes 2025

The Hong Kong Sixes is known for its thrilling format — six players per side, five-over innings, and boundaries galore. Matches are short, explosive, and packed with entertainment.

In the 2025 edition, 12 teams are participating, divided into four groups (A–D) with three teams each.
India finds itself in Group C, alongside Pakistan and Kuwait.

Each team plays two group-stage matches, and the top two teams from each group advance to the quarter-finals.
