'We will bowl first. I think we got to get them out early and look to chase the target. It depends on the team combination, that's why we want to bowl first,' said Pant.
'We have the batting to chase it down...Avesh comes back, Shahbaz misses out. We gonna chase whatever they score, doesn't matter,' LSG captain added.
Captain of SRH, Pat Cummins said, 'It doesn't change the way our boys go about it, we always try to be positive. It's great fun. You know what you are signing up for coming into this tournament. Even going for 10 or 11 runs in an over, that can be match winning on somedays. We want to win games as a team and do well as a bowling unit. Hopefully we score big.
