Moody said he is ready to put up a strong combination in their playing XI tomorrow and reckoned that anything around 160 will be a good score on the Chepauk wicket here.
"We believe our batting is as strong as our bowling. Obviously we are confident about depth of our bowling and batting," said Moody.
"I don't have the crystal ball. Anything around 160 is a good score. The wicket looks good. Same as the one used for the first match. And it produced good cricket last night. I am looking forward to playing on it," he said.
"Yes we don't have Kevin Pietersen here. But we have got Eoin Morgan, Kane Williamson, Ravi Bopara and Moises Henriques. So those players along with talented KL Rahul and Naman Ojha to me forms a strong top six," he said.
