Rohit Sharma said that Jofra Archer is still unavailable as they have brought in Riley Meredith in place of Tristan Stubbs.
“We will bowl first. We batted in the first 2 games, didn’t do well enough. The pitch looks dry and probably take some turn and dew might also be a factor tonight. We got Riley Meredith in place of Stubbs. The other changes is about the impact players. We will see how it goes. When the chips are down you need the senior players to stand up. Jofra is not available," Rohit said after winning the toss.

David Warner said that DC also have made two changes with former Indian Under-19 World Cup-winning captain Yash Dhull and Mustafizur Rahman coming in.
“We would have done the same thing. For me it is about finding rhythm and as a whole group we gotta work harder and get sharper. We got a forced change, Khaleel Ahmed is injured and we got Yash Dhull in place of him. Also Rilee Rossouw makes way for Mustafizur Rahman. All the boys are up and about, we gotta adapt to the situations and pumped to be playing in front of the home ground," Warner said at the toss.
