Sam Curran: Would have bowled as well, but in a good final getting runs on the board could be key. Don't mind batting. Don't feel like we need to change much, today is about turning up for the big occasion of the final.

Sam Billings: We'll bowl first, you should chase here. We did it a couple of times against these guys, will stick to that. Guys are able to freshen up because of the longer break. Couple of changes - Warner is back and Kuggeleijn comes in for Chameera. Rossington misses out.
