KL Rahul has won the toss and the Lucknow Super Giants have opted to bowl first against the Delhi Capitals. Rishabh Pant said that DC would have bowled first also.

Manish Pandey misses out and K Gowtham comes in for LSG. For Delhi, David Warner and Anrich Nortje are playing as is Sarfaraz Khan.

“We'll bowl first. Can't really think of a reason why but it's a fresh wicket. We'd want to bowl well upfront and restrict them. One change - Manish misses out and Gowtham comes in. Still early in the competition. Chat is about forgetting what happened, whether we win or lose, and putting our 100 percent going forward. Another opportunity to go out there and perform well as a team,” KL Rahul said.

“We'd have bowled first as well, because we haven't played here before. Three changes for us - Warner comes in for Seifert, Nortje in for Khaleel and Sarfaraz replaces Mandeep. He (Warner) is a big addition, such an experienced player and will add value for us,” Rishabh Pant said.
