Punjab Kings have won the toss and chosen to bowl first against MI.

PBKS skipper Shreyas Iyer said, 'We’ll bowl first. It’s overcast and the pitch was under covers, so conditions could help early on. It’s a fresh game - our focus is to win. The vibe in the camp is excellent. Yuzi comes in.'

MI skipper Hardik Pandya said, 'We’d have bowled too. It’s a decent pitch, just need to assess quickly and bat smart. The surface is flatter now, not much in it for bowlers. We’ve addressed things from the last game. Recovery was key during the one-day break. Reece replaces Gleeson, who’s nursing a niggle.'
