Slow wicket, which will be a huge advantage for spinners. As the boundaries are big here, the spinners will find it more effective when they reduce their speed.
This game is expected to be a low scoring game since both the teams possess a good pair of spinners and the conditions will be very tough for the batters too.

K Pandya on this conditions is the best pick to be the skipper of the team. He can bat spin well. And in bowling, he is setting his own master class.
Chawla with his leg spin can be a threat for LSG on a ground where boundaries are so big compared to other IPL venues.
Suryakumar is not an apt batter on such wickets. But still, the kind of form he is in makes him an obvious choice to go with.
Badoni, again a youngster who charges without any hesitation. With spin bowling he is comfortable and the challenge is the conditions that lie ahead for him.
Being a fast bowling all rounder, the role of Stoinis and Green is huge. And they are in the right place and form to fulfill the demands.
All three wicket keepers are known for their explosive nature. There is no better option to go with when these performers are batting with such a good touch.
Mishra’s experience on these ground conditions will be a huge advantage for LSG.
Behrendorff with his pace variations can be vital for MI.
