T20 World Cup: Pakistan ‘always ready’ for India despite late green light

AI Summary

medium article 2 min

Pakistan's cricket team is prepared to face India in a highly anticipated T20 World Cup match on Sunday in Colombo, despite a late confirmation that the game would proceed. The Pakistani captain, Salman Agha, stated that the team was "always ready" for the match, which is expected to draw a sold-out crowd of 35,000 and a massive television audience. The game was only confirmed after the Islamabad government reversed its boycott order. Both Pakistan and India have won their previous matches in the tournament. Agha believes spin will be key and is confident in bowler Tariq Usman. However, the match may be affected by forecasted rain.
