Rohit Sharma had no hesitation is batting first as his batters are in tremendous form throughout the tournament. He said, “We will bat first. Looks like a good pitch, it wasn’t to do with the pitch, we wanted to challenge ourselves.
“It’ll be a good game, two teams who have played consistent cricket and have topped the table, will be nice to win and go on top. I love to play over here, not just me, the entire team looks forward to play at this historic ground. We’re playing the same team, don’t think we need to change anything with the way we’ve been playing. “

One change – Shamsi comes in place of Gerald Coetzee.”
