“It is great to be back. The core of the group is the same, the coaching staff is the same. Don’t think batting or bowling first matters. It is pretty hot, so don’t mind bowling second. Would be nice to keep last season’s form going. We always encourage our games to play with freedom. Abhi and Heady with hopefully continue from last year, and Nitish and Klassen are there as well. Ishan Kishan and Abhinav Manohar will be making their debuts,” said Pat Cummins.
23/03/2025 3:16 pm
Here's what Riyan Parag said at toss!
“Bowling first. Looks like a dry wicket so we’ll have a crack at it later. (On captaincy) Means a lot, started here as a 17 year old. Getting to fill in big shoes, very excited. The impact rule helps with Sanju. We’ve retained a lot of our core so that helps with the batting order. The other three overseas will be Theekshana, Jofra and Farooqi. Always good to start well, we have practiced a lot,” said Riyan Parag.

Pitch report!
The only way to describe it is batting paradise. It looks a little bit dry, there’s a tiny bit more grass in the middle of the wicket compared to the ends. A little bit of two-pace, a little bit of spin, so it’s not an absolute belter.
