. The toss will happen at 6:30 pm, while the match will begin at 7 pm.

. With India already having booked a place in the Super 8, the hosts could be tempted to give some game time to Washington Sundar, with a rest to Varun Chakravarthy.

. Ahmedabad has the highest average run rate among all venues in the T20 World Cup so far. The average first innings score in three games at the venue so far has been 192 and it is expected to be a high-scoring game yet again.

. "It's a massive opportunity to be playing against India in India at the biggest stadium, it is something all the guys are really looking forward to. It's a great opportunity to test yourselves against the best. Obviously, soccer is the main sport and we probably will never get to that level, but for us it's just promoting the game, and hopefully our performances can help grow that game in the Netherlands," Edwards said ahead of the match.

. "I don't think there'll be experiments or anything... Every match is important for us. On this ground, after this, the next match is on the 22nd. And the final can be here. So obviously, it is good for the players to get used to this condition," Kotak said.

. Arshdeep Singh is three wickets short of becoming the highest wicket-taker for India in T20Is. Jasprit Bumrah and Hardik Pandya aren't too far behind in this race either, requiring four and five wickets respectively to surpass Ashwin.

. "We are going to bat first. It looks like a good surface. We want to put runs on the board and put some pressure on the bowlers to defend the total. The mood in the camp is really good and they are playing the brand of cricket I want them to play. Every game someone is putting their hand up and that is good to see. We have two changes - Arshdeep comes in for Kuldeep, Axar is resting and Washington comes in," Yadav said.

. "Yes we would have batted. It looks like a good wicket. For us it is about finishing our campaign well. Just looking to put in a complete performance today. We have one change," Edwards said.
