Team News
COVID-19 positive Mitchell Marsh was replaced by Sarfaraz Khan in the Delhi Capitals Playing XI while Punjab Kings dropped Odean Smith and Prabhsimran Singh and captain Mayank Agarwal and Nathan Ellis comes in.
Both team captains at the toss
Mayank Agarwal I am fine now, just getting some protection for the shoe. I am in, Ellis comes in for Odean Smith. It's more of a strategic change. We need to put up our best foot forward and play some good cricket. We have an opportunity to bat first and put up a big score on the board and defend it.
Rishabh Pant We are going to bowl first. It (Covid positive cases in the team) is an unfortunate thing, we are not going to think about it. We will find strength among ourselves. There were parts where we bowled and batted well (in the last match). Sarfaraz comes in for Mitch Marsh.

Pitch Report by Simon Doull
This was the same pitch that was used a couple of nights ago between Rajasthan Royals and Kolkata Knight Riders, it produced 427 runs. Why? Because the pitch is absolutely beautiful. It has a little less grass than it had the other night. But the boundaries are shorter, 65-66 meters on one side and the batters targeted that. There is going to be plenty of runs in it again but it might be just a touch drier. So if you are bowling first the spinners are definitely going to come into play. Still think it is a 180-190 surface though.
