India have won the Toss and they chose to bowl first

Shahid Afridi: It's a good call to bowl first, because the pitch was covered, but now we have to put a decent total on the board. Maybe there is something for the bowlers if you bowl in the right areas. Shehzad and Hafeez are is good form and hopefully they can continue. It's always great to play in India and cricket is like a religion here. We are excited to play this game.

MS Dhoni: "We will bowl first. The wicket has been under the covers for quite some time, so it might be a bit sticky. It also gives us time to see how it behaves. We are playing with the same side. Past doesn't really matter, but as far as cricket is concerned, you have to be at your best on that particular day. The guys have faced enough fast bowlers all around the world. It will be a challenge for our top-order, they have some world-class bowlers.
