Match Preview

Both teams enter this contest with perfect records. India, the defending champions, currently lead the group with a superior net run rate of +3.050 following dominant wins over the United States and Namibia. Led by Suryakumar Yadav, the Indian side looks balanced, bolstered by the return of an in-form Abhishek Sharma at the top of the order.

Pakistan, captained by Salman Ali Agha, has shown resilience with victories against the Netherlands and the USA. While India boasts a deep batting lineup and the death-overs expertise of Jasprit Bumrah, Pakistan relies heavily on their spin duo of Abrar Ahmed and Mohammad Nawaz to control the middle overs in Colombo’s spin-friendly conditions.

Pitch and Weather Condition

The R. Premadasa Stadium typically offers a balanced surface that provides significant assistance to spinners in the middle overs. Reports indicate a slight touch of grass on the deck, which may offer a flatter surface than usual, aiding stroke-makers if they survive the initial new-ball movement.

However, the weather remains a major concern; rain has affected the area recently, and there is a significant chance of precipitation during the match. If the game proceeds, dew is expected to play a role in the second innings, making the toss crucial for teams preferring to chase.
