Last match, dew wasn't much. First batting or second, it shouldn't change much. We will come and enjoy the game. Will try to give our best shot. We need to take more wickets in the first 6 overs. We can cash in more. We are playing the same team.

We will bowl. Looking at the dimensions and looking as to what we require in the tournament, it is better to bowl. We need to win the game. Then see how the other games go. If you want to play good T20 cricket, you need to forget things. We have had four to five days off. One has to understand the conditions. We have couple of changes. Last minute changes. Ashwin misses out because of a back spasm.

Sanju Samson has won the toss and opted to bowl. It's time for Punjab Kings to bat first.

There is no forecast for rain in Dharamsala during the match hours. Temperature is likely to be around 20-23 Degree Celsius throughout the match. A full game of 40 overs is expected to be witnessed.

Dharamsala hosted an IPL match earlier this week for the first time since 2013. The pitch was extremely flat with Punjab Kings almost chasing down 214 runs. Expect a similar pitch on offer in this game as well.
