Pitch Report | Danny Morrison and Wasim Akram: Dimensions - 240 feet straight, 222 feet and 201 feet square boundaries. Third game on this surface. It's rock hard, less grass. Pitch is slightly better. Really good T20 pitch.
Sunil Narine: We batted first in the last two games, we have a better understanding. Around 160-180 is a good total. We need a good start and carry on from there. You have to back your skills, execution is key. Saif comes in.
Heinrich Klaasen: We are looking to bowl first. Hopefully, the wicket gets better. Looks like a good wicket. Hopefully we can chase it down. Parnell is still recovering from illness. We are strengthening our batting. We are looking to increase our intensity. We'll fancy our team chasing.
