That would have been my inclination as well but this is England Eddbaston, Birmingham. Most likely the match will be curtailed (rain affected). Why take the risk? SA lost against Pak after winning toss and deciding to bat first, rain came to play. Aus-NZ washed away to no result. I would not risk it in the month of June at this venue. Win the toss bat second. Plus Ind is a very good chaser.
