The last game wasn't an easy one for us: Rohit

Rohit Sharma’s streak of not winning the toss continued. But the India opener stated that the pitch looks similar to the previous game India played against Bangladesh. He also added Bangladesh, who gave a tough fight was good for the team at the start of the tournament. On the other hand, Pakistan missed the services of Fakhar Zaman as he sustained an injury in the last game. 

"Looks similar to the last game, the surface is on the slower side. We have an experienced unit in batting so we know what we need to do if the pitches get slower. Need an overall performance from the team - with bat and ball. The last game wasn't an easy one for us, which is always nice. You want to be under pressure and test yourself. We are playing the same team," said Rohit. 

"Will bat first, looks like a good surface. Want to put up a good target. Every match is important in ICC events, we will keep things normal. The boys are familiar with these conditions, we have done well here and we want to do our best today. We lost our last game, but it is past for us now. One change - Fakhar is out, Imam is in," Rizwan revealed.
