...And the clash begins!!

Teams:

Punjab (Playing XI): Lokesh Rahul(w), Mayank Agarwal, David Miller, Sarfaraz Khan, Mandeep Singh, Hardus Viljoen, Sam Curran, Ravichandran Ashwin(c), Murugan Ashwin, Mohammed Shami, Mujeeb Ur Rahman

Toss report:

Shreyas Iyer has won the toss and opted to bowl against Punjab. The Ashwin-led side is playing at their home ground Mohali and will look to return to winning ways by defeating Delhi 

Speaking after the toss, Ashwin said, " It's about getting used to a particular ground, like the wind direction etc. If you've played in a venue before you know that the small things matter big. We have punched well as a unit, and I'm pretty pleased with how it is going at the moment. If you go at 10 an over in the slog (last 4 overs), you would take it any day as a captain."

Pitch Report: 

"The pitch has been a good one. Sprinkling of live grass, which will assist some pace. There is a disparity in the boundary sizes - and that'll work in the favour of Chris Gayle. They've got to bowl short at him. The Capitals have Rabada, one of the quickest - they have to make Gayle hit Rabada into the bigger side and into the wind. Mix of the short one and the yorker. Don't let Gayle stay there for 15-16 overs.".
