They win the toss and opts for bat. Rohit wanted to set the target and believed their bowlers to defend that target.

Rohit Sharma got out early in the very first over. Quinton de Kock was not in good touch so far but the team management believed in the pedigree and stick with him. Suryakumar Yadav knows that his partner is not in good touch so he took the responsibility in the powerplay. He played shots and took pressure off from de Kock.

Bairstow was the aggressor, but his stay was cut short by Trent Boult. Manish Pandey looked good for his 30(19) but once again threw his wicket away at the wrong moment. Kane Williamson got out early and all the pressure was on David Warner to chase the target.
