SOUNDBITE: (English) Chandika Hathurusingha, Bangladesh coach:

"There is a lot of cut grass on the wicket, so I don't know how it is going to behave, because I have never seen that kind of wicket. Either you have a lot of grass on the wicket and no grass on the wicket. So this one is unusual, there's a bit of cut grass put on top of the wicket, so I don't know how it is going to work."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh captain

"We had a good placing also at the World Cup and also the pacers did well in the last series against Pakistan also. But it's a different track as the coach said and also it is a different time of the year also, it's too much heat out there. So hopefully we will find out the right combination and we will go through which one will be suitable for this wicket. So we will have to wait until to the last (minute) tomorrow before the toss."

SOUNDBITE: (English) Mushfiqur Rahim, Bangladesh captain:

"You can say that they're favourites, but I think India is also a strong side and I think it's a fifty-fifty at this stage and they have a couple of good spinners in their line-up, so that will affect the game here tomorrow I think. So hopefully if our batsmen apply themselves in the middle I think it will be a very good game for us also."
