Previously, they kickstarted the event with a win against arch-rivals Pakistan in a tight match. In the next game, they defeated the Netherlands comprehensively. India with 4 points from 3 games and are in the 2nd position in the points table.
Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav have been in good form for India with the bat. Rohit Sharma and Hardik Pandya have blown hot and cold. KL Rahul’s form has been a major issue for the Men in Blue. There could be a probability of Rishabh Pant playing tomorrow as per reports with Dinesh Karthik with a sore back.
When it comes to bowling, Arshdeep Singh has been a brilliant to start off with the new ball and has been ably supported by Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Mohammed Shami who have also made some valuable contributions.
