"I don't think there is a lot to get adjusted to, because it is not real winter, like what we get to see up north where the dew factor or moisture is heavily in the air. Because the matches start at 9 am, there will be a bit of assistance to bowlers, which I saw in yesterday's game.
"Other than that, I think the wicket is behaving beautifully in both the innings," Mithali said at the pre-match press conference today at the Cricket Club of India.
"I think playing a day game will not affect us much, what we saw was that ball wasn't doing much. Maybe in the initial 4-5 overs, but it was the same throughout the day," she added.
India's day game against England follows the day-nighter that the team won easily against the West Indies in their opening Group A match on January 31.
The host nation will play against Sri Lanka in a day-night match on February 5 at the same Brabourne Stadium.
The no. 1 ICC-ranked woman cricketer exuded confidence ahead of the important clash and said the team was well prepared to face any situation.
"I think England has got a very good batting line-up but I don't think they are very strong in their bowling attack other than Katherine Brunt. They heavily depend on her for the breakthroughs," she said.
"We played England last year as well, most of our batsmen are comfortable playing their bowlers. I would say tomorrow is a different game...We are expecting all kinds of situations and we are prepared for everything," she added. (More)
