The hosts must navigate the remainder of the tournament without bowler Varun Chakaravarthy, who has been sidelined by physical injury.
Despite registering merely 10 runs from eight deliveries, Sanju Samson is anticipated to keep his opening slot ahead of Vaibhav Sooryavanshi, who recently earned Player of the Series honors against Zimbabwe.

Scheduled for Tuesday, September 15, the fixture begins at 7:30 PM IST following the 7:00 PM IST coin toss, with live television coverage provided by Sony Sports Network alongside online streaming accessible via the FanCode platform.
