In this match, India batted first and scored 238 runs.

After the physio's examination, Akshar could not return to the match. Abhishek Sharma bowled the remaining balls of his over. But his injury is a big tension for the team, especially considering the preparations for the T20 World Cup 2026.

Will Akshar Patel be able to play the next match?

Akshar's injury has increased the headache for the team management. Questions are being raised about his availability in the next matches of the series. However, no update has come yet from the Board of Control for Cricket in India on Akshar's injury. Akshar bowled a total of 3.3 overs in this match and took one wicket for 42 runs.
