So we have to adjust and adapt, we only have one match at a neutral venue so whatever is better The one who adapts will win the match.”

    “That’s the beauty of the World Test Championship, two neutral teams with no home advantage, so it will be very exciting to see how the two teams adjust to the conditions,” he added.
