Captains at the toss
MS Dhoni: We’ll bowl first. I think we need to respect the conditions and the fact that dew will play a part. Maybe the teams batting second so far in the tournament have made mistakes to not win. It looks better to bat second on TV. Some of the wickets might slow down as the tournament progresses. But given the number of strips out here and the amount of grass, it won’t become a low scoring tournament. When you have 14 games before the play-offs you can’t win all games. We need to control the controllables better, and one of them were the no balls. We also did well to get to 200 in the last game. One change – Ngidi misses out and Hazlewood comes in. As fas as my batting position goes, I’ll do whatever is best for the team.
Shreyas Iyer: We needed that win in the first game of the season. The boys are really motivated and we are in a great mindset. I would have chosen to field as well because in the last match dew played a great part. Ashwin, I feel is doing pretty well, but we wanted to give him a 2-3 game rest so that he feels better. He’s doing well in the gym. We have two changes – Amit Mishra in for Ashwin and Avesh Khan for Mohit Sharma.

Pitch report: “What we’re noticing is a great pitch. This wicket is an absolute beauty. The seamers are likely to pick a majority of their wickets with balls around the short length area. Big dimensions, difficult to catch under these lights.” said Kevin Pietersen and Michael Slater.
