Meanwhile, after struggling a troublesome eight-wicket within the first encounter, Team India made a few modifications of their line-up. Both Ishan and Suryakumar have been roped rather than Shikhar Dhawan and Axar Patel.
“We are going to bowl first. Looks like the track was a bit up and down with no dew last game. So we feel better to bowl first and restrict. Dhawan is missing this game, Axar is not part as well. Suryakumar and Ishan Kishan are making their debuts. We are a side that is looking to get away from templates,” mentioned Kohli.
The Mumbai Indians pair had a stellar IPL season within the earlier version held in UAE. While Ishan amassed 516 runs from 14 matches, Suryakumar fetched 480 runs from 16 video games.
Meanwhile, Tom Curran comes rather than Mark Wood in England’s enjoying XI.
“Another really good wicket in store doesn’t look high scoring but hopefully we can put up a good enough score to challenge them. Mark Wood hasn’t pulled up well, Tom Curran takes his place,” mentioned captain Eoin Morgan.
