India vs West Indies, ICC Cricket World Cup 2019: Toss update
Virat Kohli won the toss and chose to bat first against West Indies at the CWC 2019
Team India - unbeaten in the touranment so far - will take on West Indies at Manchester on Thursday. While the Men in Blue need two wins in their remaining four games to qualify for the semis, Windies need to win their remaining matches. A loss here could mean the end for them in the edition.
India won the toss and chose to bat. Team India are unchanged.
Kohli: We are gonna bat first. Looks like a hard surface. We got two wrist spinners and Kedar Jadhav is the third spinner. It's a used pitch, we see it slowing down. There are few rough patches at the right spots for our wrist spinners. A lot more application, undertanding the situation. When there's a 50-60 p'ship, make it into a big one. I think closing out situations and capitalising on them will be the key. Same team.
Jason Holder: We wanted to bat too first. Hopefully we get early wickets. We have got two changes. Sunil Ambris comes in for Lewis and Fabian Allen comes in for Nurse. Evin's struggling for the last couple of days. We are getting closer. Today's another opportunity.
Teams:
West Indies: Chris Gayle, Sunil Ambris, Shai Hope(w), Nicholas Pooran, Shimron Hetmyer, Jason Holder(c), Carlos Brathwaite, Fabian Allen, Kemar Roach, Sheldon Cottrell, Oshane Thomas
India: Lokesh Rahul, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli(c), Vijay Shankar, MS Dhoni(w), Kedar Jadhav, Hardik Pandya, Mohammed Shami, Kuldeep Yadav, Yuzvendra Chahal, Jasprit Bumrah
