#5 Bat first if they win the toss
The unwritten fact these days is, India can chase any target in the Indian conditions. They have chased 320+ target more than 10 times. The feat is twice more than what the other teams have achieved.
With dew in the winter Indian evenings, it will be a challenge for any team to defend a huge total. India should take the challenge of batting first to see how the players handle the dew situation.
The following are the advantages of batting first.
* India can bat all 50-overs which will give substantial time for the middle and lower-middle order batsmen to bat long.
* The management can see analyze how their bowlers perform under lights/dew conditions.
* India can also develop a habit of scoring more than 350 runs as they lost few games failing to defend scores around 320 in batting friendly conditions.
