Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning
“We are going to bowl first as there is some help in the wicket. The conditions are overcast, and we will try to restrict them. We had quality net sessions. We have made two changes. Harvansh Singh misses out, Aaron comes in, and Deepesh misses out as Enaan comes in,” Ayush Mhatre said.
New Zealand skipper Tom Jones would have bowled first as well. “We would have bowled first as well. It is a good toss to lose after two washouts. We are ready for the match,” he said.
