“Will love to bowl first, the wicket looks dry. The ball comes on to the bat nicely later.Rohit is out, he has a stomach bug.Time to put up a good show. We are going with one change, Duan Jansen comes in, rest all is same,” Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss.

“We were going to bat first anyways. The mood in the dressing room is good, need to improve our bowling. We believe we can chase 200-210. The ball might turn in the second innings I think. One player can’t win you a tournament, it’s a team sport. It’s good for us, that everyone is scoring runs. We’ll target to score around 180 on this wicket, we are playing with the same team,” Nitish Rana said at the toss.
