After Toss Both Captain’s Statement

Rohit Sharma: Would have batted first, good pitch to bat on. Obviously, some assistance to start with but under lights there will be good assistance for our pacers. Great honor, and a great moment to lead the team (first match as as Indian captain at home ground). It’s important for us to not get carried away by the performances we put in. Same team as the last game.

Kusal Mendis: We are going to bowl first. I think the pitch will be better for batting in the second part. Everyone did their best in the last few games. Hopefully, they will continue to do the same today. One change, DDS is not playing, Hemantha is playing.
