Toss update
Shreyas Iyer won the toss for Punjab Kings and opted for the first field. Explaining its decision, the Mumbai batter mentioned the pitch of red-mud along with the dew factor.

Shreyas revealed in the toss that Locky Ferguson was added to the side. Paer of New Zealand replaced Omarjai, who played the first game but failed to create an impact. Afghanistan all -rounder scored 16 balls 16 and scored 29 runs in his two overs. Ferguson will add more experience and depth to Punjab's bowling unit. Meanwhile, Lucknow is going with an unchanged side.
What did the captains say?
Shreyas Iyer, PBK captain
We are going to bowl first. It is a new ground, new pitch, dew can also be a factor and it is a red-mud pitch, we want to chase. Players have the freedom to express themselves. You have to play the situation, win the important goal. We try to keep things simple. We do not know how the pitch is going to play but we have to adjust quickly. Calls in the locket team.
Rishabh Pant, LSG captain
We wanted to bowl earlier but there are things that are not under our control to bat first. There are many people who have come to support us, we are definitely going to give our best. There is no change for us.
