BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium: England captain Jos Buttler has won the toss and elected to bowl first against hosts India in league match number 29 of 2023 ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup at the BRSABV Ekana Cricket Stadium here on Sunday.

India come into the clash on the back of winning five matches on the trot and are firmly in the frame to reach the semi-finals. England, the defending champions, come into the match after suffering three consecutive losses in the competition, leaving their semi-final hopes hanging by a thread. Both teams are fielding unchanged teams from their respective previous clashes.

Buttler said the decision to bowl first was based on his gut call. “Not anything in particular, it's a gut decision. It's a great occasion and hopefully, today we bring our best. Today, we want to put up a good show. We haven't done ourselves justice, today we want to put up a show and play for pride. Playing in front of a full crowd and against India, it's a great occasion.”
