Pakistan’s T20 World Cup 2024 campaign began on Thursday, June 6, match number eleven against the United States of America. Babar Azam, who was just appointed captain again, and USA captain Monank Patel went toss together. Patel flipped the coin, and the hosts decided to bowl first when the result went in their favour.
Star all-rounder Imad Wasim won’t be participating in the starting lineup since he is unavailable for the match, Babar informed during the toss. Pakistan will field four seamers in the match: Mohammad Amir, Shaheen Afridi, Naseem Shah, and Haris Rauf, the visiting captain continued. Imad’s absence was attributed to an ailment, but Babar said the Men in Green were masking it by fielding four speeders for the match on a bright, sunny afternoon.
“We also would have taken first bowl. We will try to score runs because the game is in the morning and the pitch is new. We haven’t seen the sun in the last three to four days, so it’s nice to see it again. “At the toss, Babar stated, ‘We will play the four quick bowlers to cover for Imad’s injury.
Played on the same surface all along: US captain
“Let’s bowl first. We’ve been playing on the same area, so it’s easier to chase here. It also helps to be aware of your target. We want to keep up the enthusiasm from such a fantastic game. Since it’s a fresh challenge, we want to give it everything we’ve got. USA captain Patel said during the toss, “One change for us.”
