Pandya out, Shami and SKY high in pecking order
Ahead of the match, potential replacements for Hardik Pandya, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan, suffered setbacks during net practice. Suryakumar got hit on his right wrist and had to ice it, while Ishan was stung by a bee on his neck. India will need them to be fit for selection since they can only strengthen either the batting or the bowling, not both.
