Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha has won the toss and elected to bowl first against India in the ICC T20 World Cup 2026.

Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning

“We will bowl first as the wicket is a bit tacky. It will help the bowlers. It is a big game, but we are relaxed and focusing on the game. It is a big ground, and the pitch is slow. We have been playing on such wickets,” Salman Ali Agha said.

India captain Suryakumar Yadav wanted to bat first.

“We were looking to bat first. We defended in the last two games, so we don’t want to change anything. Such games have high stakes. It is important to put your A game forward. We have two changes. Abhishek Sharma comes back in place of Sanju Samson. Kuldeep Yadav has replaced Arshdeep Singh,” he said.
