Speaking at the toss, SRH skipper Aiden Markram admitted that the wicket looked a bit drier. He also predicted that with the dew settling in, the ball will come nicely onto the bat in the second innings.
"We are gonna bowl first," Markram said. "Wicket looks slightly drier, hopefully it gets better with the dew and we restrict them to a chaseable total. Not in the 16 (no changes). We'll see how conditions play and adjust from there."
Mumbai skipper Rohit Sharma, on the other hand, stressed that his side understand the challenges of defending a total.
"We have to play good cricket," Rohit said. "We do understand the challenges of posting a total. We've to assess the conditions. Duan misses out and Jason Behrendorff comes in place of him."
