Rahmanullah Gurbaz (wk), Sunil Narine, Ajinkya Rahane (c), Venkatesh Iyer, Rinku Singh, Angkrish Raghuvanshi, Andre Russell, Rovman Powell, Harshit Rana, Anukul Roy, Varun Chakaravarthy

With a recent loss in the last match and being eliminated the team is less likely to change the squad and will most likely opt for the same team and will be less likely to bring anyone new at this stage of the tournament. So expect the same team, with no change in the playing XI.
