Toss Decision – Captain’s Comments
“We will bat first because the pitch will perform well in the first innings. We hope to defend our total in the second. We have two pacers in the squad. Our recent win in Sri Lanka boosted our confidence. We respect every opponent,” Harry Brook stated.
Nepal captain Rohit Paudel preferred to bowl first if he had won the toss.
