Punjab Kings wins the toss and opts to bowl.

Sam Curran: We’re going to bowl. They’ve watered the wicket a bit, might be something early on. Looking to put RCB under pressure early. Looking to take wickets with the new ball. We need few results to go for us and win our remaining games. Livingstone comes in for Rabada and there’s one more change in Impact Sub.

Faf du Plessis: Would’ve done the same. Been a great turnaround for us. Last few games we’ve been clinical. Focus remains the same, not too much on the table, just the way we want to play. Maxwell goes out for Lockie Ferguson.

Daren Ganga: There’s a tinge of grass on the surface, it’s dry and hard. The average first innings score for night games is 195. There will be some lateral movement. Spin can play a part if you bowl in the right areas. Out of the 18 wickets in the last game, 7 were taken by the spinners. A surface that is decent for batting but the bowlers will also extract some help.
