Silver Patidar, RCB captain
We will bowl first. The wicket looks very difficult, decent covering of grass and will try to maximize a few overs. All made more than 100 percent in the previous game, Jitesh Salt and Kohli. A change for us. Hazelwood comes in place of Thaushara.
Shres Iyer, PBK Skipper
Will have bowled before. If you look at the record here, the teams batting first have done well, so I am optimistic. They (crowds) have become tremendous and when you enter the ground you need such vibration and it also gives us a lot of energy. The way they (openers) are showing fearless approaches and the attitude has been fantastic. Marco goes out and Azmatullah comes to him.
