“We are going to bat first, looks a good wicket. It will be on the dry side. Hopefully, we get a good score and put that scoreboard pressure on them. You have to balance the conditions and what’s working for the team. In day games you can’t see it (pitch) changing too much. We are in an exciting position, hope it brings out the best in us. We have a batting all-rounder (Sanvir Singh), he comes in for us,” said Markram.
Krunal meanwhile stated that he hopes that the pitch wouldn’t change too much as he wanted to bat first.
“We would have batted first as well, but I don’t mind (bowling) either. It has been an up and down season for us. You have to play good cricket, that’s what matters. The wicket looks good and it will play the same. We have a couple of changes. Prerak and Yudhvir are in for Hooda and Mohsin,” said Pandya.
