Suryakumar Yadav has won the toss and he has decided to bat first against the Netherlands in their final match of the group stage in the T20 World Cup at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad.
India have made two changes; Arshdeep Singh coming in for Kuldeep Yadav and Washington Sundar replacing Axar Patel.
Have a look at the Playing XIs:
India: Ishan Kishan (Wicketkeeper), Abhishek Sharma, Tilak Varma, Suryakumar Yadav (Captain), Hardik Pandya, Shivam Dube, Rinku Singh, Washington Sundar, Arshdeep Singh, Varun Chakaravarthy, Jasprit Bumrah.
The Netherlands: Michael Levitt, Max O'Dowd, Bas de Leede, Colin Ackermann, Scott Edwards (Captain & Wicketkeeper), Zach Lion-Cachet, Noah Croes, Roelof van der Merwe, Logan van Beek, Aryan Dutt, Kyle Klein.
"Looks a good surface, we practiced here last night, there was a little bit of dew, so hopefully we get runs on the board and try and defend it because we're going to play the game on a similar strip 2 or 3 days later, so why not put bowlers under a little bit of pressure. The mood in the camp is amazing. Boys are turning up really nicely, and the brand of cricket which I want them to play, I think they're responding it really well. Hopefully a new Man of the Match tonight and then we go into the Super 8. We have two changes - Arshdeep comes in for Kuldeep, Axar is resting and Washington comes in." Suryakumar said after winning the toss.
Netherlands skipper Scott Edwards said: "Yeah, we would (have batted). Also looks like pretty good wickets. Playing in India is always an awesome experience. We feel like we've played a lot of good cricket. We've probably missed a couple of chances. So, yeah, for us, it's just about finishing our campaign well. We have one change - Noah Croes comes in for Fred Klaassen."
