“India is set to play its first ever men’s international match at the PCA Mullanpur Stadium. The match has generated huge excitement, with many tickets already sold. This time new features have been added, including dedicated stands for Yuvraj Singh and Harmanpreet Kaur. Organizers are making efforts to make this match a unique experience for fans,” PCA President Amarjit Singh Mehta said.
Allrounder Hardik Pandya’s outstanding show with both bat and ball powered India to comfortable win in Cuttack. Captain Suryakumar Yadhav and Shubman Gill’s continued poor form with the bat has become a major headache for India. Both players will be desperate to come out with much-needed scores and help ease growing pressure.
