To me, the important points are; batting pitch, in the morning the pace bowlers will get more benefits, one debuting playes Praveen Kumar, Rahul Dravid will not play, MS Dhoni is going to play his first ODI as Indian captain, ticket prize, high security etc.

The most important news is to me that the run should be higher that 250.
