December 25, 2012 18:36

Pakistan won the toss and had no hesitation asking India to bat first in the first T20 International in Bangalore on Tuesday.

"The pitch will have little bit early on for the seamers," reasons Mohammad Hafeez, the Pakistan captain, adding, "We are looking forward to the match."

MS Dhoni, the Indian skipper, admitted he would have also bowled first.

"We were looking to field first also, the dew being one of the factors," he said.

India have made three changes to the squad that lost to England in Mumbai on Saturday, Piyush Chawla, Parwinder Awana and R Ashwin making way for Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar and Ishant Sharma.
