Pitch Report - The pitch looks batting welcoming, there will be a little aid for the bowlers early on because of the grass present on the pitch. But that grass will also ensure that ball will come agreeably on the bat. Dew can be a factor too on this ground and that can impact the decision of the skipper.

Some thrilling news is that Chris Gayle is walking around waving his bat. And he finally found a team-mate to offer him throw-down practice.
