Axar Patel stated, “We will bat first. We aim to set a good total and defend it. The pitch may slow down in the second innings. All teams are performing well, and we are trying to play our best. We have been making small mistakes and not capitalizing on crucial moments. We need to work on that. There are no changes in the playing eleven.”
