The Netherlands, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a heavy 93 run defeat to the United States and are aiming to close their campaign on a positive note. At the toss, Netherlands captain Scott Edwards admitted he would have preferred to bat as well, citing a good surface. He said playing in India is always special and stressed the need for a complete performance. Edwards acknowledged that his side had shown promise in patches with both bat and ball but had failed to put together a full game. The Dutch made one change, bringing in Noah Croes in place of Fred Klaassen. Suryakumar said the pitch looked solid and revealed that India trained on the same strip the previous evening, when there was a bit of dew. He explained the decision to bat was also influenced by plans to play on a similar surface later in the tournament.
