‘We are going to bowl first. No particular reason. We were here yesterday, training and felt there was a bit of dew started to come in pretty early. It is a good pitch and won’t change much. So we will back our strength to chase.
It’s quite important for us to keep that momentum going, forget what’s happened in the past because everyday presents a first opportunity. We know the nature of this tournament. All teams are capable of beating anyone so we’ve got to be at it all the time and make sure you get the job right.
This is one place everybody wants to come and play. Beautiful weather, nice picturesque stadium as well. One of our favourite stadiums as well.’
