IND vs PAK Toss Update, T20 World Cup 2026: Indian team is far ahead of Pakistan in head-to-head statistics in T20 World Cup. 7-1 lead team India. Who will laugh the last laugh today?
Colombo: The Indian team is far ahead of Pakistan in the statistics of face-to-face meetings in T20 World Cup. 7-1 lead team India. This time, two arch-rivals face off once again in the world war of the smallest format of cricket. Although India has the advantage, this match is a little different. After a long year, Men in Blues are entering the field without senior players like Rohit-Kohli. On the other hand, Pakistan look for their second win in T20 World Cup against India with a new spin attack.
The luck of the toss did not favor the Indian team in the mega match. Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha won the toss and decided to bowl first in Colombo. The decision of the Pak captain is to take advantage of the fresh wicket so that the bowlers can take some advantage and then take advantage of the dew factor. But despite losing the toss, Suryakumar Yadav is happy. Because he planned to bat first. In this match, Pakistan is coming with the eleven of the last match. There have been two changes in the Indian team. Abhishek Sharma replaces Sanju Samson and Kuldeep Yadav replaces Arshdeep Singh.
India’s starting XI against Pakistan at a glance: Abhishek Sharma, Ishan Kishan (wicketkeeper), Tilak Verma, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dubey, Akshar Patel, Rinku Singh, Kuldeep Yadav, Varun Chakraborty, Jasprit Bumrah.
Take a look at Pakistan’s first XI against India: Saeem Ayub, Shahabzada Farhan, Salman Ali Agha (captain), Babar Azam, Mohammad Nawaz, Usman Khan (wicketkeeper), Shadab Khan, Fahim Ashraf, Shaheen Shah Afridi, Abrar Ahmed, Usman Tariq.
Incidentally, India dominates not only the T20 World Cup but also the overall T20 match statistics against Pakistan. The two arch-rivals have so far faced each other a total of 16 times on the international T20 stage. There India won 12 matches and Pakistan won only 3. A match is undecided. But today, cricket lovers are waiting to see the battle.
