The pitch looks nice and has a more consistent layer of green grass. Five games have been played here this season and the 200-run mark has been breached twice. So, a lot of runs of the cards citing the small boundaries. The square boundaries are 61 and 66 metres whereas the straight one is at 72 metres. Dew might play a factor in the second innings so win the toss, elect bowling is the mantra.

Mayank Agarwal is making his comeback into the playing XI. During the toss presentation, Pat Cummins said he would play at number three. So, Anmolpreet Singh is excluded from the playing XI. For MI, Anshul Kambhoj is making his debut.
