Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments & Reasoning
“We will bowl first. We don’t know about the dew factor later on. The pitch looks different and I don’t how the ball would come onto the bat,” Scott Edwards said.
USA skipper Monank Patel would have bowled first as well.
“We would have bowled first as well. The pitch looks good, and it will be good for the batters. It is important to play fearless cricket. We lost early wickets in the first two matches,” he said.
