Pitch report
Both captains will want to bat first after winning the toss. The history at this venue this year suggests that chasing has been difficult as the ball does a lot more under lights. The best time to bat will be the first six overs till the ball is hard and new. Once the ball goes a bit softer, the spinners and variations from the pacers come into effect, making it difficult for the batters to score.
