At the time of the toss, Windies skipper Pollard said: “Looks a good track. The last game dew was the factor. We will try to bowl first and limit them to a low total. Continue to execute our skills. We can’t do much in a one-day break. One change. Jason is fit. Fabian misses out.”

On the other hand, Rohit Sharma said: ” We need to get back to our basics. It is a lightning outfield. Understand the game situation. Bat freely and see what we need to do after Powerplay. As a team, we want to improve in all departments. Whether we finish the game clinically or not, we need to improve. We have got the same team.”
