As expected, there was no handshake between the two teams as Pakistan captain Salma Agha won the toss and opted to bowl against India at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo, a decision which Suryakumar Yadav did not mind. Pakistan enter the match unchanged from their team against the USA, whereas India make two changes. Abhishek Sharma is back in place of Sanju Samson, while Kuldeep Yadav is added as the third spinner, replacing Arshdeep Singh.

India’s no-handshake policy originated at last year’s Asia Cup, when the captain and his players refused to shake hands with the opponents. One that happened, all hell broke loose, with Pakistan threatening an Asia Cup boycott and whatnot. Ahead of the match tonight, the handshake topic almost dwarfed the match itself, with most questions circling around it. However, with Team India opting not to budge from their call, Pakistan’s response will be interesting to see.
