Every side enjoys playing at their home ground: Kane Williamson

Kane Williamson: We would've liked to bat first as well. It is important that we do it well with the ball early now. Shakib and Hooda miss out from the last match. Myself and Shahbaz Nadeem come in. It looks like a good surface and it is important that we adapt with the ball first up and it's all about executing our skills and our plans. The injury recovery is coming along nicely. Every side enjoys playing at their homeground in front of a wonderful crowd.

Ajinkya Rahane after the toss

Ajinkya Rahane: We're looking to bat first. I don't know how this wicket will behave but I am sure that the wicket won't change much in the 40 overs, so looking to put runs and then defend. We're going in with the same combination; we don't believe in a lot of changes. I think staying in the present is all what this format is all about. We need to stick to our strengths and back ourselves.
