We have to control the powerplay. There's a lot of senior guys. We had a good chat, now have to go there and deliver the goods. Pitch looks green. We'll see how it plays. Same batting lineup.

We'll bowl. It's the trend. Got to start well, hopefully take some wickets in first powerplay. Boys have played some golf, chilled out and got some family time in the little time off.
