India Won the toss and opted to bowl first. Speaking at the toss, Suryakumar Yadav said, “We’ll bowl first. Looks a nice fresh wicket. Humid also today, might be dew later. If we get an opportunity, we’re flexible to do anything but today we want to bowl. We came here early, had 3-4 good practice sessions and also a day off.”
Meanwhile, Muhammad Waseem said, “We were also looking to bowl. Pitch is fresh and maybe the ball will do something early. We had a good series, took many positive points and we’re confident from that series. We’re going with a good combination with spinners and fast bowlers, and juniors and seniors.”
