Mumbai Indians bowling coach, Shaun Pollock, said his team has the knowledge and will have the plus over Somerset at the slow tracks of M A Chidambaram Stadium.
Mumbai have played two matches in Chennai, while Somerset have not played any game on this path and Pollock feels his team would have the advantage of knowing what to wait for on this pitch.
"It's attractive, to say the least. Our game alongside New South Wales was very difficult. We've played two games and managed to experience what the circumstances are all about. We know what to expect," he said at a press conference.
"I think we've to just adjust on the day. I mean we don't quite know how the pitch is going to play awaiting we reach your destination and see how the first five or six deliveries behave. It's going to be odd, because we've played two games and we'll adapt pretty well, I think," he added.
Pollock ruled out promote struggling all rounder, Andrew Symonds, who has scored just 26 runs in four innings, up the order, saying the Australian's role is that of a finisher.
"I don't think a semifinal is the time to get (a player's) self-assurance going and rhythm (back). You want your best batsmen at the crease. I believe that's the key in T20 cricket," he said.
"You want the guys who are in good nick at the top of the order. Andrew knows what his role is, that of a finisher, that's why he comes down the order."
The South African bowling coach backed Symonds to come good in the last two games for Mumbai.
