“Abhishek is still not well and he will miss one or two games,” Suryakumar said.Following Thursday’s match against Namibia, India is scheduled to face Pakistan on Sunday.Abhishek was discharged after being hospitalized for two days with a stomach infection, which cast doubt on his participation in the competition. The uncertainty surrounding Suryakumar’s availability became clear when the update was confirmed with Suryakumar’s exit.“We want to bat first. Very happy with that. As long as we lose the toss and win the toss, we’ll be okay with it. Dew will be a big factor but when you go out and defend the total, it gives you confidence,” Suryakumar said during the toss.“Sanju comes in, similar batsman, explosive. Bumrah comes in for Siraj,” he added.Abhishek was dismissed for a duck in India’s opener against the United States in Mumbai on Saturday and did not feature further with Sanju Samson taking his place.The opener fell unwell during that match and his condition worsened after the team arrived in Delhi.team:India (Starting XI): Sanju Samson, Ishan Kishan (women), Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (centre), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Axar Patel, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.Namibia (starting XI): Louren Steenkamp, Jan Frylinck, Jan Nicol Loftie-Eaton, Gerhard Erasmus (c), JJ Smit, Zane Green (w), Ruben Trumpelmann, Malan Kruger, Bernard Scholtz, Ben Shikongo, Max Heingo
