India's Captain Rohit Sharma after winning the toss said, "Looks like a good pitch and on the slower side as well. I think it was way back in 2019 when we played that semi-final. NZ has been one of the most consistent teams over the years and it will be a good contest. I think it's a very important day...but you've to turn up on that particular day.."
