India won the toss and decided to field first against Bangladesh in the second semifinal of the ICC Champions Trophy at Edgbaston in Birmingham. Both the teams have made no changes to the playing eleven that helped them to win their last group games.

Here is what the captains said:

Virat Kohli: “We are gonna have a bowl first. It looks like a fresh wicket. It should stay the same. Not at all. You have to play good cricket throughout to go all the way. We know what Bangladesh can do. No changes in our line up.”

Mashrafe Mortaza: “We will have to play them with some sort of confidence. Team wants to go further. Last two years, the team is improving. Lot of expectations. Not only this game, every match we play. We are sticking to the same team.”

Meanwhile, defending champions India will surely walk into the match as the favourite after registering two impressive wins over Pakistan and South Africa in the group stage. On the other hand, Bangladesh will also be confident after making it to their maiden Champions Trophy semifinal following a brilliant win over New Zealand in their last group game.

Here is the playing eleven of both the teams:

India:

Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli(c), Yuvraj Singh, MS Dhoni(w), Hardik Pandya, Kedar Jadhav, Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Jasprit Bumrah
