United States will co-host the 2026 FIFA World Cup alongside Canada and Mexico. The tournament will feature 104 matches, beginning at Mexico City Stadium on June 11 and culminating at New York New Jersey Stadium with the final on 19 July.

The match is scheduled to kick off at 17:00 IST. The second match of the day will see Kerala Blasters FC host Chennaiyin FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Kochi, with the kick-off slated for 19:30 IST on Saturday, as per a press release from ISL.

Parakh, 19, who has represented Maharashtra at all levels from U19 to senior level and even struck a century in just 75 balls in U19 India colours against Australia back in September 2024, will be playing for the Blue and Red franchise in his first IPL season. His most recent outings saw him register scores of 6 and 18 during his first two Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT) T20 matches for Maharashtra at the senior level, and the exposure and some possible game time with the Capitals could definitely help the youngster up his game.

Put to bat first, a fiery knock from Sanju Samson (89* in 42 balls, with eight fours and seven sixes) and cameos from Shivam Dube (43 in 25 balls, with a four and four sixes), Ishan Kishan (39 in 18 balls, with four boundaries), Hardik Pandya (27 in 12 balls, with three fours and two sixes) and Tilak Varma (21 in seven balls, with three sixes) took India to 253/7 in 20 overs. Despite having England down at 95/4, India could not dominate them as Jacob Bethell (105 in 48 balls, with eight fours and seven sixes) and Will Jacks (35 in 20 balls, with four boundaries and two sixes) put a counter-attacking 77-run stand for the fifth wicket. Bethell continued to march on even after Jacks' dismissal and a fiery four-ball cameo of 19 from Jofra Archer took England really close, but not to the finishing line, ending at 246/7.

India's men's cricket team produced a record-breaking display of batting in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup semi-final against England at Wankhede Stadium, Mumbai, on Thursday.
