The skipper also added that the team had forgotten their bad run in the Champions Trophy, and they are looking to start the proceedings from grass root level.

Pitch conditions
Jeff Dujon during the pitch report told that there are very fewer chances of pitch dry up in the first innings, and as a result, the wisest decision after winning the toss is to bowl, and this advice was obeyed by Jason Holder. The weather seems perfect for a One-Day match, and there are no chances of a shower.
