I'm hopeful that one, if not more, of our top order will help take us to those totals, whether it be the first or the second innings," Moody said.

. Captain Rajat Patidar opts to bowl first.

. "We will bowl first. It's pretty obvious: good surface, bowl first , take the advantage and put them under pressure. No grass on this pitch, looks good. Everyone is doing good for the team - coming at different stages and performing. One change - Hazlewood replaces Duffy," Patidar said.

. "We're pretty confident, [it's a] good batting pitch. Regardless of whether we bat first or second, we need to do well. We don't want too much introspection; put trust in your team and do well. There are a lot of leaders in the group, so go out and perform well. Same team for us," Pant said.
