Indian team made 2 changes to their playing XI from the previous match as they bring in Deepak Chahar and Avesh Khan in place of Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna.

Speaking at the toss, the Indian skipper said, " We'll bat first. Just want to challenge ourselves. I've been short of playing time so I'm eager to get some runs and spend time in the middle. Siraj has been very good for the last couple of seasons, he's done well for his franchise and he's brought that form into the ODI game as well. He's very good when there's a bit of a moment on the surface. A couple of changes - Siraj and Prasidh miss out, Deepak Chahar and Avesh Khan come in".
