After winning the toss, Finch said, "Hopefully, we can post a big score." 

"We want to keep improving all the time. We have made good ground in ODIs in the last 4-5 months." 

"We have made very good progress," he added. 

On the other hand, India captain Virat Kohli said, "We want to continue what we did in New Zealand and Australia."

India included Ravindra Jadeja in the playing XI in place of Yuzvendra Chahal, who has been rested.

"We are giving Chahal a break today so Jadeja comes in. We will rotate our wrist spinners. Rest, we have the same combination of 2 fast bowlers, Vijay Shankar and Ravindra Jadeja to provide us the balance and give us depth in batting," said Virat.

Virat mentioned the concerns regarding middle-order batting. He said, "A couple of things we need to work on in our middle-order. We want to up the scoring rate more in the middle overs."
