India chose to bowl first after winning the toss. Yashasvi Jaiswal is back, while captain Rohit Sharma stated that Virat Kohli will participate in his first Twenty20 International match after being out of the format for more than a year. Tilak Varma and Shubman Gill are not present. In the last game, everyone was focused on Rohit, and the same is true today with Kohli. Arshdeep Singh again outshone everyone and bagged 3 wickets, he got support from his fellow bowlers Axar Patel and Ravi Bishnoi who took 2 wickets each making it very difficult for the opposition to develop a long standing partnership.
