Eoin Morgan says they are playing an unchanged XI. Rishabh Pant has one change in their XI with Marcus Stoinis coming into play in place of Tom Curran.

"We are going to bowl first. We have played a few games here at Sharjah, so far it's worked. There might be a dew factor later on. We have kept the same side. We are playing some good cricket at the moment, we are confident as a side."
