The Indian cricket workforce made two adjustments within the line-up for the Cricket World Cup 2023 match towards New Zealand on Sunday. As India captain Rohit Sharma received the toss, he revealed that Mohammed Shami might be enjoying their maiden World Cup recreation on this marketing campaign, whereas Suryakumar Yadav will make his debut within the ODI World Cup for the nationwide workforce. Making method for the duo had been Hardik Pandya and Shardul Thakur.

With the workforce administration deciding to bench Shardul after Hardik’s harm, there might be no pace-bowling all-rounder within the workforce. In reality, the Indian workforce will enter the stadium with 5 bowling choices. Considering the shape that the Kiwi batters have proven on this event, the technique may grow to be a dangerous one.

“We’ll bowl first. No reason, we were here training yesterday and felt a bit of dew comes in. Looks like a good pitch, we’ll back ourselves to chase. Quite important to keep the momentum going, forget what happened in the past. Need to be at it all the time. This is one place everyone wants to come and play, with beautiful weather and a nice stadium. Hardik isn’t available, so does Shardul. We’ve got Shami and Surya,” Rohit stated after successful the toss.

Tom Latham, New Zealand’s stand-in skipper for the match, stated that he would’ve wished to bowl first too.

“We’d have bowled first as well. Looks a good surface, and we know the dew will come in. The important thing is whatever we do, we need to do well. We need to keep the momentum going. We are in a new ground, new conditions so need to adjust to these conditions as quickly as we can. We’ve got the same team for today – three seamers and two spinners,” Latham stated.
