Both the captains are out in the middle along with the match referee for the toss. The Indian skipper was supposed to flip the coin for the toss but forgot where he kept the coin. After checking he realised that he had the coin in his pocket to give a light-hearted moment ahead of the clash.
As far as the toss is concerned, it finally took place with Pakistan taking the toss and opting to field first in the match in New York. For the Babar Azam-led side, they have brought in the veteran all-rounder Imad Wasim in place of Azam Khan in their starting XI. India on the other hand has opted for no changes on their side.
The match on the other hand has had some interruptions due to the light showers in New York with the conditions being overcast and the outfield being wet. But the fans should remain optimistic since the game is set to begin at 8:50 PM IST with no overs being lost.
India will be the hot favourites to take the win having won their opening game and the warm-up match in dominant fashion. Meanwhile, Pakistan who did not opt to play warm-ups, suffered a crushing Super-Over defeat against the USA in their tournament opener.
Both sides have a stellar pace-bowling unit and with both sides fielding a four-man quartet in their respective sides, it should be a cracking contest with the ball. While the batters could prove to be the difference with India fielding an all-star opening pair with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli set to take the field.
