India captain Shubman Gill won the toss for the third consecutive time in the ODI series against New Zealand. He has decided to bowl first because of the overcast conditions. It is a 40-over per side game.
Toss Decision – Captains’ comments and reasoning
“We will bowl first. We will try to repeat our performance, but we need to be better with the bat. It is challenging to come and go because of the rain,” Subman Gill said.
New Zealand skipper Mitchell Santner was frustrated after losing the toss.
He is hoping that his batters improve their performances and post a good total on the board.“We got a good training session yesterday. We will have to be better with the bat, and we have to hit the ground running. 180 might be a good score because of the conditions,” he said.
