Probable Changes
Jhye Richardson is expected to replace Riley Meredith after the latter got injured in the previous game.
If Mayank Aggarwal is fit to play, then he'll come in for Prabhsimran Singh at the top.
After 7 consecutive failures for Pooran, Malan will be waiting to get featured in the XI and most likely this would be that game.
