"We all know that Mumbai is a top side. We will definitely put up a good fight and try to avoid mistakes. We have a young side with quite a few talented players like Cheteshwar Pujara and Ravindra Jadeja, but in the end, it is the team effort that matters," said Saurastra captain Shah.
"Obviously, their (Tendulkar and Zaheer’s) presence makes Mumbai a stronger team. But we will concentrate hard and play our game rather than worry too much about our opponents. We will have to give our 200 per cent," he added.
"A first day pitch anywhere will obviously help the fast bowlers early on, but I think, it might offer some turn from the third day."
"We also have other experienced players and most of us had played in the previous final (2006-07). And so, in a match like this, experience will be a critical factor," said Mumbai captain Wasim Jaffer.
"Saurashtra have played seven of their matches at home. This is a chance for us to forget the earlier game and show that it was just a one-off match," Jaffer said.
Jaffer said, "We all know that Pujara is in good form and scoring a lot of runs and so his wicket will be vital for us. But then, we also need to take the top six wickets."
