Virat Kohli, India captain: Obviously dew is going to be a big factor. Should’ve played my first game on my birthday. You’ve got to come out here and start the game well. One thing that’s important is the intensity we have to bring from Ball One. Create some energy, momentum and carry it on for the rest of the game. Just one change, Shardul misses out and Varun replaces him.
Kyle Coetzer, Scotland captain: Looks a good deck. Similar to the one in the previous game. It’s a great occasion for us and for Scottish cricket. We are playing against some of the best players in the world. Go out there and enjoy the day. Side’s the same.

Ravichandran Ashwin was among the changes in the Indian lineup in their match against Afghanistan on Wednesday, and the wily off-spinner played his part in restricting the Afghan batting lineup as he returned with superb figures of 4-0-14-2.
Indian batting legend Sachin Tendulkar was among those heaping praise on the Tamil Nadu spinner, saying the opposition batters had no answer to his "back-flip ball".
"This is one of the reasons that Ashwin ended up bowling four overs but did not concede a single boundary in those four overs," the Master Blaster was quited as saying after India's win.
India's roadmap for the remainder of the T20 World Cup does seem complicated at the moment. To make things simpler for the reader, we present to you all the possible scenarios regarding Team India's qualification for the semi-final after their win over Afghanistan on Wednesday.
Their defeats at the hands of Pakistan and New Zealand at the start of their campaign having already complicated things for them, India will have to depend on other results to ensure their progression into the semi-finals of the T20 World Cup. This goes without saying that they also have to win each of their remaining games, including the one against Scotland in Dubai on Friday evening.
Welcome to our live coverage of India's next T20 World Cup assignment — against Scotland at the Dubai International Stadium in what will be another must-win clash for Virat Kohli's men.

Preview: An upbeat Indian team will hope to keep their semi-final chances alive with they take on Scotland in the T20 World Cup Group 2 clash at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Friday.
After losing their opening games against Pakistan and New Zealand that has almost knocked them out of the mega event, India managed to collect their first points of the campaign with a rousing victory over Afghanistan in Abu Dhabi on Wednesday.
The Indian batting unit was ruthless against the celebrated Afghan attack for a change. Openers Rohit Sharma (74) and KL Rahul (69) forged a 140-run opening stand after India were put in to bat at the Sheikh Zayed Cricket Stadium, laying the foundation for the massive first innings total of 210/2.
Afghanistan, in reply, lost wickets from the outset and weren't able to build partnerships along the way. Ravichandran Ashwin, playing his first white-ball game for India since 2017, was among the wickets as he got rid of middle-order batters Gulbadin Naib and Najibullah Zadran to reduce the Afghans to 69/5 in the 12th over. Despite a fighting sixth-wicket stand from skipper Mohammad Nabi (35) and Karim Janat (42*), the Afghans never stood a chance thereafter, and ended up losing by 65 runs.

India's win on Wednesday leaves Scotland as the only team on Group 2 without a victory so far in the Super 12s stage of the tournament. The Scottish team had earlier got their Round 1 campaign off to a stirring start with a narrow six-run win over Bangladesh, and would go on to defeat Papua New Guinea as well as Oman comfortably to progress to the Super 12s.
However, the second round of the biggest T20 event hasn't been kind to them. They started off with a 130-run thrashing at the hands of the ruthless Afghans, getting shot out for a paltry 60, and suffered a four-wicket loss at the hands of Namibia in their next game.
Despite the defeats, the Scots showed spirit in their 16-run loss to New Zealand in the first game of Wednesday's double header. After being set 173 to win by the Kiwis, with Martin Guptill missing out on a ton by seven runs, Scotland got off to a steady start, and were 66/1 in the eighth over before losing their next four wickets for 40 runs that complicated their job.
A fighting contribution from Michael Leask (42 not out off 20 balls, 3X4, 3X6) gave them a late boost and rekindled their hopes, but the Black Caps managed to hold on to their nerves to add another two points against their name in the end.
