India are all set to take on Bangladesh in the final Asia Cup Super Four stage clash at the R Premadasa International Cricket Stadium in Colombo on September 15. Rohit Sharma won the toss and opted to bowl first.
Rohit and Rahul Dravid decided to rest a few key players to provide a chance for other players in the bench to thrive. Suryakumar Yadav replaced Virat Kohli at No. 3, and the switch most likely resulted from taking into account the workload management.
“We are gonna field first. It is something we haven’t done in the tournament, we haven’t done it under lights so it gives us an opportunity to bat under lights. The wicket honestly has got everything for everyone. Pacers who bend their back in the daytime have also got movement and there have been assistance for the spinners. Got to be brave and play your natural game. We got to give game time to some other guys who haven’t played. We have made five changes, Tilak makes his debut. Shami and Prasidh also come in. Suryakumar also gets a game,” Rohit said at the toss.
