IPL 2023 SCHEDULE| IPL 2023 POINTS TABLE"We are gonna bowl first. 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. Our fielding needs to improve. We let ourselves down slightly in the previous games. (Playing spin) We are improving game by game. There's great spin attacks throughout the comp and if you're not up to the mark, they are gonna put a lot of pressure on you. It's about guys exploring options, finding options that are comfortable to them and it's about trusting that out in the middle," Markram said after winning the toss.
"It's been fantastic, 15 years of IPL has come a long way. Has gone from strength to strength. Lots of good things have happened in 15 years. We have to play good cricket. 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. Jason was always supposed to play, but he was not well last game. He's okay to go now. (On MI's bowling) It's work in progress, a lot of new guys, young guys who are getting the feel of IPL, under pressure situations as well. They've come a long way in the last two games. They've shown glimpses that they can handle the pressure which is a good sign. We want to keep encouraging them to do the stuff that they want to do, the results will follow," MI skipper
Rohit Sharma said at the toss.
