Mid-Day

MS Dhoni's losing spree at the toss continued as Pakistan called right in the 2nd Twenty20 match and decided to bowl first.

Speaking after winning the toss, Pakistan captain Mohammad Hafeez said that he decided to ball first because the pitch looked like it would initially help the seam bowlers.

India made one change from the previous match bringing in R Ashwin in place of Ravindra Jadeja. Pakistan are playing an unchanged team.
