It’s a very good flat cricket surface; from a surface and dew point of view it’s the right thing to do. It’s about strengthening our skills. Looks like a good wicket to try and chase it in the second half. That’s why we play cricket, for entertainment,” he said at the toss.indian captain Suryakumar Yadav Said his team would have preferred to bat first but were happy with the conditions. “We want to bat first. Very happy with that. As long as we lose the toss and win the toss, we’ll be okay with that. It’s a big game and that dew will be a big factor, but when you bat first and go out and defend, I think it gives you a lot of confidence. It’s a really good wicket. Hopefully the batsmen go out and have fun. Abhishek is still not good; he’ll miss a game or two. Sanju comes in, a similar batsman, explosive.” Jasprit (Bumrah) replaces (Mohammed) Siraj,” Suryakumar said.
