Marcus Stoinis to bowl the first over for Lucknow Super Giants.

We would've bowled too but this is six in a row [losing toss]. Last game gave us tremendous confidence defending 170 with just five bowlers. There's a lot of self belief and that is important at this stage. (Today's plans) Depends how the wicket plays. We are batting first so we start with the same XI. After that, we'll see, hopefully we don't have to get our impact player too early this time. (Starc's performance) Big confidence for us. He just wasn't able to execute before but he executed in the scenario in the last game. He has a big character and I was happy for him. (One more game to qualify?) It is important to stay in the moment and seize the present.

I'm not the best reader of the wicket, we just like chasing. (Challenges) Different every game. We've adapted well on the two pitches here and travelled well too. Individual performances too in a competition like this. Everyone's put their hands up. (His highest strike-rates in IPL 2024) There's been a lot of talk about strike-rates and the format is changing. Even 220 is now safe. It is evolving. (Team plans) Quinton was injured in the last game, but we are staying with the same team. Yash Thakur will play.
