For the second time in the tournament, India will bowl first. They produced a memorable effort in the first game to bowl the UAE out for just 57 runs in 13.1 overs.

"We were looking to bowl first, happy with it. We played just one strip away, which was a nice wicket and better to bat on in the night. It's humid, so hoping for some dew. Same team," Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said at the toss.
