Rajasthan Royals skipper Rahul Dravid elected to field against Mumbai Indians.
NEW DELHI: Rajasthan Royals skipper Rahul Dravid won the toss and decided to field against Mumbai Indians in the Champions League Twenty20 final at Ferozeshah Kotla stadium in New Delhi.
Royals made one change as Kusal Perera has come in place of injured Brad Hodge. Glenn Maxwell replaced Mitchell Johnson in Mumbai's playing eleven.
It's not a belter of a wicket and is quite dry. There will be a little bit of moisture early on and the batsmen will have to play smartly to score runs. 150-160 should be a good total, batting first.
The final is being billed as Sachin Tendulkar vs Rahul Dravid match as both legends had announced earlier that this would be their final Twenty20 season.
The IPL champions Mumbai have the experience of playing and winning two matches at Kotla while Royals have played all their matches at home.
Mumbai and Rajasthan have played each other four times this year, and the honours have been even. Both won their home matches in IPL 6, Mumbai won the second IPL qualifier in Kolkata, and Rajasthan won the inaugural game of CLT20 2013.
Teams:
Mumbai Indians: Dwayne Smith, Sachin Tendulkar, Dinesh Karthik, Rohit Sharma, Kieron Pollard, Ambati Rayudu, Glenn Maxwell, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Harbhajan Singh, Rishi Dhawan, Pragyan Ojha
Rajasthan Royals: Rahul Dravid, Ajinkya Rahane, Sanju Samson, Shane Watson, Kevon Cooper, Kusal Perera, Stuart Binny, Dishant Yagnik, James Faulkner, Rahul Shukla, Pravin Tamb
