Conditions: The average first innings score is 155. The boundary sizes - 61m and 64m square boundaries. 74m down the ground. There has been fair amount of rain, some parts on the field are damp. There might be some dew formation later.

Shai Hope: Cannot control it (the toss). We need to bat well. It's a big fixture, big game today. We have made few changes. If we lose one game away from home, it's a good place to be in.

Kieron Pollard: We are going to field first. There has been some rain around, it's our first game at home. Just want to get a feel of the home crowd. It's an iconic venue, a lot of T20 specialists and Test greats have come from here. Very nice opportunity for Bravo to play in front of this crowd. Guys have been performing well, but we need to keep doing well. We have three changes. Roy misses out, Tim David is in. Bravo and Russell are in.
