Pitch Conditions

The pitch at Niranjan Shah Stadium in Khandheri, Rajkot is generally batters-friendly with a flat and true surface, offering consistent bounce that aids stroke-making early on and often produces high totals in limited-overs games. Bowlers must rely on pace variations or spin as the match goes on, with spinners gaining grip later due to surface wear. Winning the toss and batting first is usually seen as advantageous.

Squads:

India Squad: Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill(c), Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul(w), Nitish Kumar Reddy, Harshit Rana, Kuldeep Yadav, Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna, Arshdeep Singh, Ayush Badoni, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Dhruv Jurel
