The hosts could be tempted to go in with an unchanged XI. The one option is to pick Keemo Paul as he has found some success at the ground with his slow variations. If they want to tinker with the batting unit, then Shamarh Brooks can be added as well.
Probable XI: Brandon King, Kyle Mayers, Nicholas Pooran (c), Rovman Powell, Shimon Hetmyer, Devon Thomas (wk), Jason Holder, Dominic Drakes/Keemo Paul, Akeal Hosein, Alzarri Joseph, Obed McCoy

Rohit Sharma walked back to the pavilion in the third game due to a back spasm. But he later said in the post-match presentation: “At the moment, it’s okay. We’ve got a few days till the next game, hopefully, it should be okay.” Avesh Khan will be expected to be replaced by Harshal Patel, who laid low by a rib problem, he could get another opportunity. The alternative route is to pick another spinner.
Probable XI: Rohit Sharma (c), Suryakumar Yadav, Shreyas Iyer, Rishabh Pant (wk), Hardik Pandya, Deepak Hooda, Dinesh Karthik, R Ashwin, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Avesh Khan/Ravi Bishnoi/Harshal Patel, Arshdeep Singh
Fantasy XI Suggestion 1:
Nicholas Pooran, Rishabh Pant, Suryakumar Yadav (C), Shreyas Iyer, Shimron Hetmyer, Kyle Mayers (VC), Rovman Powell, Hardik Pandya, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Akeal Hosein, Arshdeep Singh
Fantasy XI Suggestion 2:
