Pitch Report - Murali Kartik and Matthew Hayden are the pitch masters for the day. Murali Kartik says that the track being used in this game is the adjacent one to the one used in the last game.

Hayden thinks it will be very difficult in the middle overs and says that Powerplay will be crucial. Hayden says personally he would love to chase.
