Punjab Kings have won the toss and have opted to field

A big cheer for home skipper Shreyas Iyer at the toss shows he has strong support from the home crowd.

Shreyas Iyer: We’re going to bowl first. It’s a day game. We want to get a knack of how the wicket is going to play. We need to back each others and all the youngsters. We are going with the same team. Priyansh comes in for Nehal.

Ishan Kishan: We would have looked to bowl first. We got a young side, young bowlers in the side. Two changes. Salil Arora comes in for Livingstone and Praful Hinge makes his debut.

Pitch Report – Day game pitch expected to be slightly slow, with scores around 160–170 likely. Batters must create pace, while bowlers could stay in control as conditions get trickier.
