Series on the line in Guwahati

Will Suryakumar Yadav continue his hot streak?
At the heart of India’s confidence is Suryakumar Yadav. The skipper has been in ominous touch, playing his usual fearless brand of cricket without taking unnecessary risks. His ability to dismantle bowling attacks in the middle overs has given India breathing room even when the top order hasn’t fired. Another fluent knock tonight would only strengthen his status as India’s most dependable T20 batter.
Opening combination still under debate
India’s opening puzzle refuses to settle. Shubman Gill has been pushed out of the mix, while Abhishek Sharma has had different partners across the last few games. The team management is clearly testing options, but time is ticking with the World Cup not far away.
Sanju Samson under pressure again
For Sanju Samson, the spotlight is unforgiving. Back in the XI after nearly a year, the Kerala batter has struggled in Nagpur and Raipur. More than the low scores, it’s his discomfort against hard lengths and extra pace that’s raised eyebrows. In a format that rewards instant impact, tonight feels like a make-or-break opportunity.
Ishan Kishan adds to selection headache
Adding another layer to the debate is Ishan Kishan, who impressed with a confident half-century at No. 3 in the previous match. His positive intent and clean striking have strengthened his case, making India’s middle-order choices even tougher.
