What did the captains say?
“Looks like a dry wicket. Dew is a factor. It gets better to bat on. Tough start to the tournament, haven't really put a foot wrong ever since. It's all set up perfectly. We've played these guys a lot. Same team as the semi-final,” informed Australia skipper Pat Cummins.
What is the Pitch Report?
“Pitch number five. It's different from what was used for India vs Pakistan because it's been left open for quite a long time. It looks very dry, not much rolling. Looks patchy, especially in the areas where spinners will land the ball. I expect it to turn a bit. Dew is uncontrollable. If there's no dew, you could be in trouble. Batting first, and getting runs on the board is premium. But India won't be too bothered either way,” says former Team India head coach Ravi Shastri.
