IND: 50/1 (6)

Jaiswal capitalised brilliantly in the second over after a quiet first one. 11 runs came off it including two boundaries.

IND: 12/0 (2)

Ruturaj Gaikwad and Yashasvi Jaiswal will start the proceedings for India whereas Aaron Hardie has the new ball in hand.

"We'll bowl again. We have got 5 changes - Stoinis, Maxwell, Inglis, Richardson and Ellis are all out. Credit to the selectors and the coaching staff - they made the decision to send the WC guys back home, it gives an exciting opportunity to the guys coming in."

"We would have chased as well, but our batting unit has been firing well. 1st T20I here, let's see how it goes, very excited. 4 changes for us - Mukesh comes in for Prasidh, Deepak Chahar comes in for Arshdeep, Shreyas replaces Tilak and there is one more change."
