All eyes will be on Abhishek Sharma, who has built a reputation as one of the most explosive batters in recent times but has yet to make a major impact in this tournament.
Despite the contrasting returns, Kotak made it clear that the team management is not concerned with Abhishek's lean patch.
As per the latest weather update, conditions in Ahmedabad are expected to remain favorable for cricket. Temperatures during match hours are likely to range between 23°C and 29°C.

Zimbabwe join Sri Lanka from Group B to qualify for the Super 8 stage of the tournament.
Australia's only win came against Ireland as Mitchell Marsh and co. are out of the T20 World Cup before the semis for the third time in a row now.
The leaderboard is also taking shape with batters and bowlers trying to outperform one another to top the charts. Check out the top run getters and wicket takers of the tournament so far.
Addressed to Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, the appeal deliberately rises above the usual India-Pakistan sporting rivalry.
