Mohali, September 6, 2026 (Yes Punjab News)
Indian stars Abhishek Sharma and Shubman Gill will face off when Amritsar Soormas take on Fazilka Falcons in the Sher-E-Punjab T20 Cup at the I.S. Bindra Stadium here on Monday.
The contest is expected to be one of the tournament’s marquee fixtures, with Amritsar looking to bounce back after their recent defeat.
Captain Abhishek Sharma will be central to the Soormas’ campaign. Known for his aggressive batting, he can quickly change the momentum of a game. Naman Dhir will also look to maintain his attacking approach, while Abhay Choudhary and Rahul Kumar are expected to provide stability and power in the middle order. Sahaj Dhawan and Jashanpreet Singh Sidhu will add further batting options.
With the ball, Akash Pandey and Mayank Markande are likely to play important roles as Amritsar seek to control the middle overs and restrict Fazilka’s batting line-up.
Fazilka Falcons, meanwhile, will be led by India’s Test and ODI captain Shubman Gill. Their squad also includes Sanvir Singh, Raghu Sharma and Anshul Chaudhary, while Eish Rao and Prerit Dutta strengthen the batting unit.
Amritsar enter the match after an eight-wicket defeat to Bathinda Royals in a rain-affected encounter that was reduced to 11 overs per side. Despite the loss, the Soormas displayed an attacking intent and will aim to convert that approach into a winning performance.
With Abhishek and Gill leading opposite sides, Monday’s encounter promises a compelling battle between two of Indian cricket’s prominent young stars and a key fixture for both teams in the tournament.
