India’s captain, Harmanpreet Kaur, chose to maintain the no-handshake policy with her Pakistan counterpart, Fatima Sana, ahead of their highly anticipated match in the Women’s World Cup 2026 on Sunday, June 14. After winning the toss, Harmanpreet decided that India would bat first in their opening game of the Women’s T20 World Cup.
Following the coin toss, instead of greeting Sana, Harmanpreet went directly to speak with Mel Jones for an interview. Once the interview concluded, she opted to leave the field without further engagement.
This decision highlights the ongoing tensions between the two teams, making the upcoming clash even more intriguing for fans on both sides.
