Toss Update: Pakistan Chooses to Bowl
Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and decided to field first. He called the pitch “tacky” and said his bowlers could use early help. Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav smiled and said his team was happy to bat anyway – they’re confident defending totals on this surface.
One small but noticeable detail: no handshake between the captains at the toss. The tension is real, both on and off the field.
Playing XI – India vs Pakistan
India Abhishek Sharma Ishan Kishan (wk) Tilak Varma Suryakumar Yadav (c) Hardik Pandya Shivam Dube Rinku Singh Axar Patel Kuldeep Yadav Varun Chakaravarthy Jasprit Bumrah
Pakistan Saim Ayub Sahibzada Farhan Babar Azam Salman Agha (c) Usman Khan (wk) Shadab Khan Mohammad Nawaz Shaheen Afridi Faheem Ashraf Usman Tariq Abrar Ahmed
India made two smart changes: explosive Abhishek Sharma is back (in for Sanju Samson), and wrist-spinner Kuldeep Yadav replaces Arshdeep Singh. Pakistan sticks with the same winning combination, trusting their spinners – especially mystery man Usman Tariq – on these Sri Lankan conditions.
Quick Venue & Weather Check
The Premadasa pitch starts slow and gets even slower as the game goes on. Middle overs with spinners like Kuldeep, Varun, Shadab, and Usman Tariq could decide everything.
Weather warning: 70% chance of rain in Colombo today. A full washout means both teams share points – not ideal for anyone chasing Super 8 glory.
Head-to-Head Reminder
India leads big in T20 World Cup clashes: 7 wins to Pakistan’s 1. But every game feels fresh, and today’s winner takes control of Group A.
The action starts at 7:00 PM IST. Abhishek Sharma and Ishan Kishan will face Shaheen Afridi’s new-ball fire soon. Stay glued for IND vs PAK Live Score Today updates – boundaries, wickets, and drama incoming!
