2. Captains' comments

Faf du Plessis: We'll have a bowl. Just the trend and with the dew effect. The pitch does look very different, so we'll have to see what the dew does. The fact that pleases me is that we hung in in the last game. It gives a lot of confidence to the group. Even though you aren't playing at your best, it is pleasing. We're playing the same team.

Sanju Samson: Not too disappointed (at losing the toss). It looks like a completely different surface to the ones we played in the last few games. Our standards in our bowling and batting. We should all take care of our own roles and try to win the small moments. Same team.

3. Pitch report

Matthew Hayden to Star Sports: This pitch definitely has a lot lesser grass on it. It is very, very hard. It isn't something we have seen with the pitches here so far. The batsmen are in for a little bit of a treat today. Expect a score of over 160.
