Pitch Report | Reema Malhotra: It's a dry surface, hardly any grass on it. There'll be turn on offer. Shot-selection is the key as the ball won't come onto the bat nicely.
Sam Billings: We've got a great group of guys, plenty of experience and support. Against a very good side. Great place to play cricket. Couple of days training and it helps. Looking forward to tonight. We've got a few changes. Qais comes in, David Warner of course. We've got all the bases covered. Looks a good surface.
Sunil Narine: It's a must-win game for us, so we'll bowl first and look to restrict them as low as possible. We have to go out there and play confident cricket. Just assessing conditions more, hopefully we can do that today. Ali Khan is in.
