Deccan Charges decide to bat

Durban - Deccan Chargers captain Adam Gilchrist won the toss and chose to bat Saturday in an Indian Premier League match against the Mumbai Indians.

West Indies all-rounder Dwayne Smith replaced New Zealand all-rounder Scott Styris in the Deccan team for the match on a Kingsmead pitch that looks dry and perfect for batting.

Both teams are unbeaten, with Deccan winning both their games and Mumbai winning one with one match abandoned.

Teams:

Deccan:

Adam Gilchrist, Herschelle Gibbs, VVS Laxman, Rohit Sharma, Venugopal Rao, Dwayne Smith, Harmeet Singh, Pragyan Ojha, Rudra Singh, Ravi Teja, Fidel Edwards.

Mumbai:

Sanath Jayasuriya, Sachin Tendulkar, Shikhar Dhawan, JP Duminy, Dwayne Bravo, Abhishek Nayar, Pinal Shah, Harbhajan Singh, Zaheer Khan, Lasith Malinga, Dhawal Kulkarni.
