Despite hosting Andhra, who are lying at the bottom of the Group B heap, Railways seem content to play for three points in their Ranji Trophy Super League match beginning at the Karnail Singh Stadium here on Sunday.

This strategy failed in the last match against Baroda, as Irfan Pathan & Co. turned the tables on the hosts in the first session itself. Nonetheless the team management wants to play it safe.

“We are thinking about three points as of now. The reason is if we think big we get ourselves in a hole,” said Railways coach Abhay Sharma.

Meanwhile, upon seeing the pitch the visitors are planning to play an extra spinner. “The pitch will help spinners,” Andhra Coach MV Narasimha Rao said. Among other things, Andhra will look to fix their batting problems.
