Punjab Kings won the toss and opted to bat first. Speaking at the toss, Shreyas Iyer said, “We’ll bat first, considering the outfield. The fans are happy with my decision.

If you see the last game, the way our openers started and other batters capitalising, that gives us a fair point to come and bat first.”

“Essentially if you see the trend in the IPL, the players who are in form and win you matches are the team who go ahead and win the championship. That’s a great motivating factor coming down after 11 games.”

“The team is in high spirits right now and everyone is stepping up at the right time. Absolutely on top of the world the way things are panning. It’s important we tick the boxes right, not think about the results that much.

You got to stick to your routines. We are going with the same batting line-up,” concluded Shreyas Iyer.

Meanwhile DC captain Axar Patel said, “We would have fielded first because of the weather. The wicket will remain the same throughout the game and our batters will know how to plan the chase.”

“Despite playing badly, we are still in this position which is good. It’s a long tournament, these things happen it’s important to be positive. Madhav Tiwari comes in for Vipraj Nigam,” concluded Axar Patel.
