Suresh Raina: We are bowling first. It looks a bit green. But might slow down. There might be something with the new ball. We need to bowl in good areas. I think we bowled well in the last game. I think it was a very good game against GL. PK bowled a very good 19th over and Bravo bowled well, too. When the match is not over, you have to keep pushing harder and that is what we did in the last game. Finch is injured and Tambe got injured in the last game. Shivil Kaushik is playing. He has done pretty well for Karnataka in the domestic circuit. Hopefully, he will do well."
MS Dhoni: I think it is a combination of green and the breeze. I know the fast bowlers will swing over here. It is hard underneath. I have not played enough games over here and whatever we have played, it has played differently. There are a couple of changes. Faf du Plessis has had a finger problem (ruled out). Mitchell Marsh is injured. Handscomb and Albie Morkel are playing. When we have won a couple of games, we have done well in all 3 departments and that is what we have to take as benchmarks.
