T20 WC: Unchanged Pakistan Elect To Bowl, Abhishek, Kuldeep Return For India
Salman Ali Agha: Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in a high-stakes Group A clash in the 2026 Men’s T20 World Cup at the R. Premadasa Stadium on Sunday. As has been the case in India-Pakistan clashes, both captains didn’t shake hands at toss time.
Both sides are unbeaten so far in Group A, with India on top of the standings courtesy due to a superior net run-rate. India overcame a sluggish start against the United States of America (USA) in their opening game in Mumbai before sweeping aside Namibia in New Delhi. Pakistan, who have been stationed in Colombo, laboured past the Netherlands before producing a more assured display in beating the USA.
Defending champions India have brought back fit-again Abhishek Sharma and Kuldeep Yadav in place of Sanju Samson and Arshdeep Singh for the crunch clash. Abhishek had been hospitalised in New Delhi due to stomach infection and missed the clash against Namibia due to his recovery from it.
