Anil Kumble: It's never easy to pick the overseas players when you have so many good players in the side. This is a good toss to lose, there is a lot of dew which may play a big factor. Praveen Kumar comes in place of Pankaj Singh.
Sachin Tendulkar: It's a big game, we have played every game before that thinking it's our last game. We'll play the same way today. To be back in Mumbai feels great. We need to put some runs and add some pressure on the opposition. We have a couple of changes. Fernando and Nayar are playing today. Nayar is a special player for Mumbai, he's proved that in the past.
Sachin Tendulkar has won the toss, and as expected in a big match, he will bat first. Abhishek Nayar is fit, is a "big-match player", and is in. Dilhara Fernando is in too.
