Captains say!

Speaking after the toss, Ajinkya Rahane said, "We will bowl first. Not sure how this pitch will play, but it will get better under lights. We have been playing some good cricket, but in T20s, we need to play well in the crunch situations. We have a few changes. Stokesy is injury and replaced by Liam Livingstone, Gowtham is back as well."

Talking about their strategy for today, Rohit Sharma said, "It's a 4 PM game, should help the spinners. The pitch shouldn't be much of a factor. We need to play some good cricket, we are in a roll as a team and need to continue doing it. One change for us, I am back in place of Siddhesh, who is unlucky to miss out. He looked good the other day, but this is a long tournament and he should get more chances in the future."
