We would have bowled too but we are batting first, so looking forward to it. I guess, we're adapting to the conditions nicely, we're playing some good cricket and we're not finishing well sometimes. It is beautiful that they are putting up good performances. They are young and maturing and those are great signs. We have got one change – Raza comes back in and Rajapaksa misses out.
We will have a bowl. It is going to be a slow, low surface, it is not going to change much. There might be some dew later on. The last game was not a good one but winning 4 out of 5 was quite good. The boys have come out with a lot of freedom and a clear mind. The crowd has come out and supported us. We have got the same 16, Ripal goes out and another pacer comes in.
Delhi Capitals have won the toss and opted to bowl, It's time for Punjab Kings to bat first.
The temperature in Delhi has now risen and the heat is back in the national capital. The mercury is expected to hover around 33 degrees and there is no rain predicted.
The surface at the Arun Jaitley Stadium this year has assisted bowlers and the batting teams have not posted 200-plus totals here yet. The pitch shall help the spinners and can be on the slower side. Also chasing is easier here this season with dew coming in late.
