Pakistan ready for India, game confirmed after U-turn
14 Feb
Summary
- Pakistan team was always prepared for the India match.
- The crucial match was confirmed just days before.
- Rain is forecast, potentially impacting the game's outcome.

Pakistan's cricket team captain, Salman Agha, has confirmed his squad was prepared for their highly anticipated T20 World Cup match against India. The crucial Group A game, a significant event in world cricket, was only officially confirmed recently after a government U-turn on its initial boycott stance. The match, drawing massive global viewership, has sold out the 35,000-capacity R Premadasa Stadium.
The Pakistan team is reportedly in good form, having won their previous matches and benefiting from early acclimatization to Colombo's conditions. Captain Agha emphasized the need for strong performance to secure a win, acknowledging the game's magnitude. However, the impending encounter faces a threat from forecast rain on Sunday evening.
Agha highlighted spin bowling as a key factor, designating Tariq Usman as a potential trump card against India's strong batting lineup. He also addressed potential concerns regarding Usman's bowling action. The winner of this match will secure a place in the next Super Eights round. India faces a potential setback with explosive opener Abhishek Sharma reportedly suffering from a stomach bug.
